City centre pedestrianisation trial

Outside seating in the pedestrianised zone

The current phase of the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) suggests constraints on the times of day when tables and chairs can be put out in front of premises in the pedestrianised (ETRO) zone.

These constraints are not the intent of the scheme and will be removed as soon as is practicable.

No enforcement action will be taken against any premises placing street furniture outside in the pedestrianised (ETRO) zone during this period.
