Green Party Councillor Neasa Hourigan posted some pictured of College Green earlier along with the words 'I'm delighted to see the pedestrianisation trial of College Green go ahead but security guards, thousands of metal barriers, pedestrians being refused access to the space and no cycle parking is not what I had in mind.'
