Bridge Street: Take 2

So here's the semi-official line, Worcestershire County Council have gone for overkill; they're only going to be shutting things down for a couple of weekends. Presumably it's easier for them to go for a blanket cover then apply just for the times they need; thus scaring/annoying the crap out of everyone.

Apparently they're looking at both roads and pavements (are pavements covered by the term 'carriageway'?), with talk that the road may be covered in the same sort of stuff as High Street (hence the cobble rumour) or it may be part of the Bridge Street refurb and just be this 'gateway feature' they were talking about across the bridge entrance.

Oh and fiddling with the street lights.

Yeah I know not much more, but my usual sources are almost as much in the dark as everyone else; not a good sign.

[Update 13/09 - Roads to be paved as normal, but may be coloured; pavements in blocks like High Street except for some parts, which will be in a different texture; and some paintings or some such on the pavements. Sounds like the Bridge Street refurb, except who picked the pictures?]
