The two bodies joined forces and came up with a list of alternatives which included keeping the existing restrictions almost as they are but reducing waiting times in the town and introducing a red zone in Broad Street. The red zone would mean no parking for anyone, including blue badge holders.
Cllr Matthew Lock, lead cabinet member for transport and environment, said: 'The recent consultation has stimulated a great deal of comment and a heavy postbag.
'We take these comments and letters seriously and will allow extra time for them to be analysed thoroughly and for additional discussions to take place with interested parties.'
