'Lots of character' with 'some great historic buildings which are celebrated with excellent paving and good pedestrian access and crossing points'. The street furniture may verge on the 'heritage' according to some voters but at least it is 'well maintained' and 'offers respite in what can become a busy street at weekends.'

'This street can hold its head up amongst the best in Europe' raves one voter.
