Tonbridge High Street more spacious without railings....

I've had a week or two to live with it now and I think I prefer the openess of the roads in the centre of Tonbridge that getting rid of the railings has given them. It feels different especially for pedestrians and cyclists (being both I think I can speak for them!) and I can't say you even notice the difference when driving along the High Street. You get an overall feeling of everything being a little cleaner and more spacious. And the bonus is that the council must have made a good turn on all that scrap metal! Only thing is where are they going to hang all the flower baskets in the summer?!
