Hi
I agree Vin, control is a problem,
I suppose as they did in the past with street market stalls, studs could be
set into the walkway surface.
The other main problem with Swansea guide is that they permit rope and chain
barriers. personally I have tripped over two this summer.
Another other problem I have met in other towns is - they put up a fenced
seating area, then outside that they add an A-frame leaving 300 mm for
people to pass.
