Why isn’t there any benches at the roundabout where taxis drop off and collect. I visited The Lowry last week, but had nowhere to sit whilst waiting for a taxi which I ordered, there were 2 of us in our company that have disabilities and have to use walking sticks, having to stand waiting for transport was painfull. At the roundabout there is enough land for seating to be installed and gain easy access for transport.
Calendar Club and The Works Christmas Shop are now open.
