Conservative councillors are calling for Stony Stratford High Street to be returned to its pre-COVID layout.
The changes to Stony Stratford High Street were originally made in August 2020 to stop crowding on the busy high street.
The alterations to the high street meant the roads were narrowed and additional car parking spaces, including disabled spaces, were lost.
However, last week the Stony Stratford Town Council unanimously voted in favour of requesting the ‘reestablishment of the High Street to pre-pandemic levels”.
The move was supported by a “strong case” from the Stony Stratford Business Association and a petition of 1200 signatories.
MK Council have yet to confirm their plans for the high street.
Local Conservative Councillor Joseph Hearnshaw has backed local retailers in their bid to revert the High Street to its original layout, saying: “It is important to residents and local retailers that Stony Stratford High Street is returned to its previous layout.
"With restrictions over and more jabs in arms than ever before, we need to be backing local business, not making life tougher for them.
"I hope that MK Council will listen to the decision made by the Stony Stratford Town Council and return it to pre-pandemic levels ASAP.”
