I've made some changes https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/162276574

I've left a lot of loose ends. I'm not sure of the situation on Bridge
Street, Bank Street should probably be pedestrian, and there's probably a
lot of changes to footways and cycleways needed in the area as well as the
bus stops and routes as I mentioned. A flare could be added at the junction
with Princes Way/Manchester Road.

Feel free to make any changes.

P.S. Thanks Tim for pointing out the mess 👍
