I mustn't get too excited but Gary, did I spy some red flower troughs in the first pic? :)

Can't say as I like the rest of the layout though....where are the trees? :?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the red flower troughs are traffic cones as such :cry: :cry:

Im sorry to hear that Gary :( (wishful thinking on my part :) )

I just keep hoping the powers that be will put some flowers/trees & seats to make it look more family orientated & cosy...
fingers crossed eh? :wink:

Not sure that the Square is ready for seats yet :oops: :cry:

Nasty smell of sewerage as we walked through this evening.
I know they've had this problem before, and solved it. Lets hope they do so again - whoever "they" may be :(

Looking at the webcams and pictures from today , getting in the mood for our return next week.
Could not believe how quiet it looks also the square is being spoilt by the obvious traffic marks.
Do the posts placed on the inside of the current routing indicate that it will not return to the old route past metabixo ??
Good to see that posts have been placed along side the road down from CVO to dircet traffic away from outside of Sullys and the icecreamparlour.

Ellie I thought the same thing when I first saw the new look square, it does look like a landing strip. Like you I want trees for prettiness & shade & flowers for colour, would make a big difference.

Think it is too soon to for all the negative comments, it's obvious it is unfinished, if it's like any of the other areas that have been re-vamped trees, seats etc are the last to be put in place. Everyone's a critic :roll:

I thought the same when they re-vamped the approach to, and the area around Centiannes Beach. Nothing seemed to be happening very slowly. We were sure that it wouldnt be finished, then literally the week before the season proper started, there was a flurry of effort, and the result was very good.
Let's hope the same applies here??

Well when I am actually 'there' with the sea and cliff backdrop I just see how much has been done. According to a meeting with residents and business owners a few weeks ago they hoped to finish for the season starting 20th June.
