A street safety scheme in York is to be urgently reviewed after complaints, the council say.
York's council leader has said a scheme which saw about 100 bollards installed on a street in Acomb would be reviewed as "a matter of urgency"Dozens of bollards which were installed in a street in York could be ripped out if a campaign group gets its way.
"Why was money allocated to much-needed regeneration used by the council for an unnecessary highway scheme creating a spiritless strip, that could have otherwise been a hub for a thriving community," she said.Ms Chapman also claimed businesses were reporting "much lower footfall," adding: "People simply don't want to come to Acomb anymore."
"I find it hard to believe that the barricade of bollards that now greets people to Acomb Front Street is what residents or businesses wanted for Acomb's main shopping area," she said.
