San Antonio Town Hall’s pedestrianisation plan will become effective as of Monday 15 May which will see some areas completely closed to traffic whereas others will be closed from 8pm-6am.
The new measures aim to ‘boost commerce’ in the urban nucleus of the town, ‘improve accessibility and road safety’ as well as ‘promote pedestrian accessibility to the places of cultural heritage’.
After listening to local business people there has been some last minute tweaks to the original plans, mainly to facilitate supplies to the area including 3 new loading points in the West End.
