Have the stakeholders agreed to this?
Is this what we're going to be stuck with?
Who are these stakeholders?

Whilst the new seating outside Paddy Power will no doubt be welcomed by our regular street drinkers, I'm sure they wouldn't mind budging over a little bit to allow a little space for a couple of [ E S S E N T I A L ] parking bays on that [ R E A L L Y W I D E ] part of the road.

Also, now they seem to have named it 'Sylvan Post square', one presumably needs to ensure that their clientelle are not inconvenienced by the pesky Boots lorry pulling up to deliver stuff to a store that's been an anchor for Dartmouth Road for donkeys years, so maybe the stakeholders might want to restrict loading times so as not cause offence to the newbies.

Oh, and whilst I agree that trees are nice, I think it would be fair to speak to the freeholders before planting very close to the shops at 63b and 65 because it could affect things like basements and visibility of the shops and their signage.

PS
I'm not having a pop at the proprietors of the Sylvan Post or their clientelle as I think they're major plus for Forest Hill. I just want to see a more fair and balanced approach to providing a strategy that can work for everyone - especially at that end of Dartmouth Road.
