Age Friendly York

We want older residents to help shape where they live by working with local groups, businesses and the council to identify and make changes to their physical and social environments.

Age Friendly York will:

  • enable people to live healthy and active lives
  • encourage communities to treat people with respect, regardless of their age

We will ensure decisions are resident focused by:

  • providing the opportunity to feedback at any point, through all aspects covered by Age Friendly York - there is no wrong time to have a view
  • to ensure you have access to what the key findings are from the consultations and how these directly inform the action plan
  • to ensure information is available about what has been achieved so far

We welcome your comments if:

  • you work for an organisation that meets the interest of older people in York
  • you are part of a volunteer group that engages with older people
  • you are a carer or have a neighbour or relative that is an older person in York

Recently closed consultations

  • Acomb Front Street Phase 2 - closed Sunday 24 March 2024: we're working with officers and urban designers to draft options and cost new proposals for phase 2 improvements to Acomb Front Street.
  • Local Nature Recovery Strategy consultation - closed Monday 12 February 2024: we collected your feedback to help identify locations to improve nature and provide other benefits, such as capturing carbon from the atmosphere, flood regulation and access to nature-rich spaces most needed for health and wellbeing.
  • Enforcement Policy Survey - closed Sunday 4 February: we consulted on a new enforcement policy. The policy is intended to have a much wider scope than the existing policy which applies to the council’s regulatory services. Nevertheless, the revised policy retains all of the considerations required by the Regulators' code, including adopting the format of that code.
  • Air Quality Action Plan 4 (AQAP4) - closed Sunday 4 February: we collected your thoughts and feedback on air quality in York and specifically on the measures to improve air quality proposed in our draft AQAP4.
  • Our Big Transport Conversation - closed Sunday 4 February: you were invited to take part in an important conversation about transport in York. For you, 'transport' might mean how you get to school or college; how you shop and get to work or visit family; how you travel between villages or into the city centre, or all of these things. We wanted to listen to you about every aspect of travel, from accessibility on buses to walking and wheeling to driving and parking.
  • Blue Badge Access Consultation Phase 2 - closed Sunday 4 February: we asked you to look at how we can improve Blue Badge access, and how we can develop proposals to make the city centre more accessible.
