In this view, the yellow notice-board at the base of the right hand tower read “Advance warning, this road will be closed on 17/02/13 for one day”. This was to allow for a survey to be carried out on the building. Canterbury City Council implemented a 12-month trial which started on 27 March 2012 and which aimed to tackle the growing problem of traffic congestion LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )
However, the trial was not a success as it caused massive congestion and an e-petition was submitted by 1036 people setting out the reasons why

The trial is due to continue until the end of March after which work will begin to return to the system of allowing vehicles to drive through the towers, as here TR1458 : St Dunstan's Street.
