A decision on whether to make the pedestrianisation of part of Beverley’s Saturday Market permanent has been delayed amid questions over the cost of only doing it seasonally.

East Riding Council’s cabinet heard the permanent pedestrianisation of the area between The Kings Head and Grapes pub had majority public backing while most businesses were opposed. Council transport portfolio holder Councillor Paul West said current arrangements were a good compromise and opportunity for Beverley, with few of the parking spaces previously there lost.

Respondents said the scheme had made it easier to walk around Saturday Market and between shopping areas in Beverley town centre. But a business-only survey found 55 per cent did not support it claiming it had seen parking spaces lost, resulting in potential visitors going elsewhere and costing them trade. Councillors heard changes to remaining parking’s layout in 2022 has caused confusion and seen some leave cars in the aisles, with signs and warning notices brought in to stop it.
