The new Liberal Democrat administration at West Berkshire Council is considering extending the hours that cars are banned from Newbury town centre.
Last March, the Lib Dem Newbury Town Council unsuccessfully asked the previously Tory-run West Berkshire Council to experiment with a permanent pedestrianisation of Northbrook Street – between 10am and midnight – and Market Place – 24 hours a day – through the use of an Experimental Traffic Order.
Now the new district council administration wants to look at the issue again.
