THE controversial closure of the Lower Pollet to traffic was implemented for the first time at the weekend.
For a total of four weeks, the road will be closed from 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays until 3am the next day.
Opinion was split with business people claiming the Environment Department had not consulted them about the scheme.
Taxis had access only to Le Truchot.

I say close it permanently and make it permit only, the same as the (upper) pollet, smith and high streets. It is of no benefit to motorists, in my opinion and there are often lorries, cars on the pavements. Pedestrianise the area after 10am for deliveries and make this particular road safe.
For the taxi drivers.. means you can add an extra quid on every fare from the weighbridge.
