Businesses are set to hold crunch talks with council officials over Harrogate’s £10.9 million Station Gateway project.
Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce will hold the meeting at Cedar Court Hotel tonight.
Many business owners have expressed serious concern over the scheme, with some fearing the measures may affect footfall.
Council officials say the project aims to encourage more walking and cycling in the town centre.
Some fear a reduction in parking spaces, the part-pedestrianisation of James Street and potentially a year of major road works would damage businesses already struggling to recover from covid.
