It’s a great little thing – looks quite bonkers to have used – worth trying to have a butchers if they open it up again in the future (only been partially opened a couple of times recently that I recall).

No way will some alpine ski lift affair get built up park street. Ever.

If they’re still working that that’s not a bad idea… I can’t see the lift up Park Street happening either way.
