York parking charges review extended to new area after trader challenge

A review of car parking charges in Bishopthorpe Road, Micklegate and The Groves has been expanded to include Heworth.

The change follows a challenge from traders and residents in the East Parade area about last year’s price increase. 

The entire consultation including all four areas will now run until 27 February. 

City of York Council is already paying consultants Arup to conduct an independent review into parking prices in Bishy Road, Micklegate and The Groves.

It will now also be asking people in Heworth to have their say on local parking charges as part of the consultation.  

Councillor Kate Ravilious, Executive Member for Transport, said: “This extended deadline gives residents and businesses more time to respond. 

“Every effort is being made to publicise this review to local people with posters and paper copies of surveys being delivered to local shops, community venues and libraries. 

“I would encourage everyone affected by this issue to respond to the consultation and have their say on parking charges in these areas.” 

People can respond to the consultation online here.

Paper and easy read copies of the survey are available at York Explore, Bishopthorpe, Clifton, Dringhouses, and Tang Hall libraries; as well as in local shops and community centres across the four areas.

On completion of the consultation, the Council will publish the independent review and details of when it will be considered.
