He also said Bedford Place is set to be reopened to traffic.
Some traders previously called on the council to reopen the road saying the move had turned the busy city neighbourhood into a “zombie apocalypse”.
Asked whether the road closure will remain in place, Cllr Fitzhenry said: “No. Our plan will be to reopen Bedford Place.
"The Carlton Place element that has got approval from the traders will stay but we will consult the traders on both Bedford Place and Carlton Place first.
"We have their information from the last six months, our plan currently based on that information is to reopen Bedford Place but we will consult those traders first to make sure that that works for them.”
