Update - 8 September 2020:

Spaces for People infrastructure is temporary and as such, agile. Measures can be mobilised relatively quickly as the need arises, and adjustments made to existing infrastructure after a period of review.

Following a monitoring period at this location, the temporary infrastructure has been removed.

Update: 16 September 2021

Following an independent review which recommended the retention of those Spaces for People measures that could realise long term sustainability and active travel benefits - temporary footway widening infrastructure across neighbourhoods will not be reinstated at this location/made permanent.
