2. The Square from its junction with Great Minster Street to a point 79 metres north-west of its junction with Market Street (including the hammerhead but not The Square Service Spur)

In order to facilitate this, the following provisions were also proposed to be extended to include Monday to Friday 6pm to 10pm: -
