WHY can't the council erect a steel framework on the approach to Walmgate Bar to the same height and width dimensions of the arch? Then any vehicle hitting the framework would know not to proceed through the bar.

Why is that so difficult?

Or is closing the bar to all traffic, and causing even more gridlock on the surrounding streets, an easier option for the council?
