An update on a contentious proposal to sell a council-owned car park is set to be given next month.
The situation with the Amoy Street car parks disposal project had gone quiet since it was discussed in detail at a Southampton City Council meeting in July.
A traffic regulation order (TRO) consultation on the proposed sale closed the previous month.
Conservative councillor Jeremy Moulton has now pressed the Labour administration on why the results of this consultation had still not been released.
In a written question to the executive, Cllr Moulton said: "The traffic regulation order consultation on the proposed sale of the Amoy Street car parks closed in June.
"Five months later, the council has still not published the consultation results, which are understood to show overwhelming opposition to the disposal.
"When will the full results be published?"
A response from Cllr Christie Lambert, Labour cabinet member for transport, said: "The council will be publishing an update on the project in December and this will include feedback on the TRO consultation.
"The council is working with local businesses and the community to review the TRO consultation feedback and will be identifying supporting measures, which will be considered before a final decision is made."
As reported, more than 1,000 people signed a petition set up by traders in Bedford Place opposed to the proposed sale of the car parks, which provide a total of 54 spaces across the north and south sections.
The project was brought forward as part of the local authority's asset development and disposal programme.
At full council on Wednesday, November 26, Conservative group leader Cllr Peter Baillie, speaking on behalf of Cllr Moulton, said: "The reason he put this in was because officers had told him that the report wouldn't be published until April, so he would just like to say if you are standing by the answer, he is very grateful for that and he looks forward to seeing it in December."
Labour council leaders have previously said an extensive exercise had been carried out to analyse demand in Bedford Place and Amoy Street was found to be the least used car park.
