Public meeting held at Royal British Legion
More than 250 people rejected changes to Louth’s Mercer Row, market square and Cornmarket parking at a meeting on Wednesday.
The authority has already had to backtrack on some elements of the plans, reinstating two disabled parking bays on Tuesday night.Those at the meeting agreed that Mercer Row should revert back to how it was before the changes took place. He said some residents who had previously spent hundreds of pounds had cancelled their orders, adding some had called “in tears”.The Federation of Small Businesses is also against the plans.
There was some support for café culture with some suggestions a compromise could be met by bringing parking back in over the winter months and after 6pm to allow for safe journeys to night-time venues such as restaurants. “The active travel funding we’ve received, and the trial we’re using it for, is a unique opportunity to encourage more walking and cycling in the town centre, while also opening up Louth’s businesses and café culture to a wider audience.“However, there were over 350 people who supported the project when we engaged on it in March 2021.
