Sadly I feel that this policy needs a little more bite. The fact that a property is being "Marketed" does not necessarily mean that there is any active effort going into letting it. This may be the case if the agent concerned or his clients stand to make far more money from a redevelopment.
Some property on the other hand will clearly be unlettable however long it is marketed for and that may be obvious in a far shorter period.
There should be no extension of the "Shared Space" concept and the current provision should be removed and replaced by a more conventional approach.
The current scheme is confusing and impedes traffic flow in off peak times.
Again the singling out of the Sea Life Centre appears inappropriate. It is an attraction provided at no cost to the town which adds to what the town offers.
I hope the policy refers only to the disused part of the Crazy Golf site.
