Traders in Kemp Town, Brighton are divided over the future of a shopping street.
George Street comes under discussion this evening at a meeting of the St James's Action Group.
Businesses think it should be pedestrianised to attract more shoppers because they are frustrated by drivers using it to cut through to the sea front.
Shop owners in nearby St James's Street, however, fear the move could restrict access and make parking problems worse.
Gavin Ritchie, secretary of the action group, said: "There are differences of opinion.
"Quite a few traders think it would be good for business if it were to be pedestrianised.
"Most agree something needs to be done to jolly it up but some feel it would make it difficult to get in to St James's Street."
The issues will be discussed at the meeting at the new Methodist Church, Dorset Gardens, starting at 7pm.
