We've put a number of measures in place in York city centre to improve access for residents and visitors with disabilities.
Blue Badge parking in York
Blue Badge holders can park free of charge in council car parks and our on-street 'pay and display' bays.
Footstreets in York
When visiting the city centre be aware that our footstreets are only accessible by vehicles at certain times of the day.
Vehicles restrictions in York

Most council-run car parks have designated disabled parking bays, situated for easy access; Blue Badge holders can park in any of our car parks, free of charge (within opening hours), in either a disabled or standard bay.
