Has the cafe in the Butter Market bought the area? I am asking because they are now using all of one side of the gangway and leaving only a couple of feet for passersby who may have bikes and double buggies to push. Single file traffic is not acceptable on busy days.

In May 2005 Ely Online partly covered this in our article about pedestrianisation in Ely and still nothing has been done. You can read the full article here.

What a bunch of idiots Cambridgeshire County Council are.

Has anyone walked down High Street recently? There is barely room to walk because most of the cars overun their parking bay onto the pavements.

So instead of dealing with the greater problem they nit-pick over a few signs that are not really doing any damage.

Has anyone been in contact over the car-parking issue?

Nice take on the story!

I was in Ely yesterday walking down Market Street and Brands pet/garden shop took over half the pavement with bedding plants and just a little further up was the Hereward pub that had 2 massive advetising boards. Are these legal?

Interesting that illegal signs are less safe than illegal ones, surely any sign is a potential distraction and that includes road signs!
