See an illustrative response
Towns should expand pedestrian areas where practical. Quieter streets make walking more pleasant and give cafés space for outdoor tables. They may also encourage residents to spend more time in their local area. Nevertheless, deliveries and access for people with limited mobility require careful planning. A trial on selected streets, supported by nearby parking and accessible transport, would help identify problems before a permanent change.
