there is a row of

shops

along the north side of the new pedestrian street will be demolished to make way for a bus station, shopping

centre

, car park and new housing area. The

shops

along the south side of the street will remain, but it seems that the town’s park will be reduced in size so that more new houses can be built within the ring

road
