The experimental traffic regulation orders for the Louth Active Travel trial will expire on Monday 18 September.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “Like we said from the very beginning, this was always going to be an experimental trial during which we’d take feedback on-board about whether to make any of the changes we were trialling permanent and that we’d remove them if they don’t work for Louth.
“With the trial coming to an official end in a month and a half, everything we’ve tried will return to the way it was before we started in March 2022.
“This includes fully re-opening and reimplementing parking in Cornmarket; removing the limitations on disabled parking in Market Place; and reinstating parking bays on Mercer Row, from numbers 19 to 33.”
Cllr Davies continued: “As promised from the beginning, we’re now drawing up plans for public engagement this autumn about whether or not to make any of the changes we’ve trialled permanent.
“For example, one idea we’re keen to explore is implanting seasonal traffic restrictions in the Cornmarket. We think this would strike a strong balance between giving businesses here the opportunity to utilise the space when it’s warmer while allowing for parking in the colder months when there’s less demand for outdoor seating.
“More details about the engagement will be announced closer to the time so that anyone who wants to have their say can. Any updates relating to this will also be available on letstalk.lincolnshire.gov.uk.”
