  If I had my way I would ban all traffic within the town walls, call it a heritage zone and be done with it. All vehicles on a 'Access Only' basis. Hazard lights on. 5 mph max. No street parking unless for short term business offloading. Quite easy really. Much like other places do it.

  Might I (politely) ask the poster of this comment a few questions in relation to its proposal.
  
  1 What about all the people that live within the town walls? Will they have their cars/right to access denied? (N.B: The Dutch Quarter is mostly residential whilst, Castle Road and Roman Road are entirely residential - both within the town walls).
  
  2 Which other town(s)/cities in the UK, or indeed elsewhere, bans traffic entirely within its/their walls?
  
  I have visited many of them (UK and overseas) and formerly lived in another UK walled city but none of them have this approach. I am really interested to hear how these other places do it."
