Temporary changes that saw disabled parking bays relocated to allow bars and restaurants to use streets for outdoor service have been extended for another year.
Councillors say Lichfield cannot afford to have another major project fail to materialise after concerns were raised over how a new leisure centre in the city would be funded.
Councillors have said that the use of outdoor seating in Lichfield city centre must be balanced against the impact on drivers using on street spaces in future.
