Marygate Car Park gained a 'popup' social distancing covid-19 corridor in summer 2020. It is coned off from the remaining parking area. On 20 October 2020, an E-scooter hire scheme bay appeared. The bays blocked access to/from the gap in the fencing to/from the more gentle of the two slopes to/from Scarborough Bridge, and to/from the riverside. Lobbying subsequently got a second gap created in the fencing ie to the right of where this image was taken. Before the second gap was created all users - for example this cyclist taking his two children to school - had to go into the car park to get round the scooter bays. See also #157640, #157641
