Subway

Corner

Centre

Fenced off, other side of The Arches

Some cracked paving stones

The subway was deliberately worn down, left unrepaired so the townspeople would complain, then the council could go ahead with it's plan to demolish instead of improve. But the townspeople knew better than that, so the council went ahead anyway.

They fenced off the area immediately I pointed out in the local Paper that there was a fortune to be made suing the council when tripping over the paving stones they loosened.
There's no fun to be had with this council.

Confusing advice about where to go instead

The main prefabricated under-road tunnels were filled with concrete, the larger bits with gravel, and the tops grassed-over.
New traffic crossings were plunked in, right over the overloaded roads, and just because some idiot in the council thinks it make's The Arches look pretty. Pretty stupid.

The council poured money into the ground, using lots of expensive equipment and highly-paid workmen, most of whom are just standing around watching other workmen in the photos.

Here you see the main area completely filled in, with a pretty useless semicircular path from which you will be able to better view the pretty annoying lighting.
