Its aim is to encourage people to stay longer, as well as creating a “safe and attractive” environment
Members of East Riding Council's Cabinet voted for an option to continue the trial all-year round, and include four spaces for drivers with Blue Badges.
Coun Kerri Harold said the scheme “was a bit like Marmite", dividing opinion, and parking spaces would be lost, but she insisted it wasn't as much of an issue as it had been before Covid.Coun Jane Evison said:"When we introduced this 18 months ago it was on the understanding that we would consult people."We have gone out of the way to speak to people.
She said the views she listened to were of the visitors"because that's who we want to encourage. They want to enjoy cafe culture and then spend money." But she accepted they needed to make it look better.Consultation will continue during the trial and new street furniture is being reviewed as part of the second trial.
