Experimental Blue Badge Parking Bays Consultation
Following our consultation about city centre access for Blue Badge holders, 5 new experimental parking bays are available from 21 May 2024 for Blue Badge holders to park in, and businesses to load from.
The bays have been created where previously there were double yellow lines where businesses could load and Blue Badge holders could park for up to 3 hours.
The new bays now allow loading from 6.00am to 10.30am, and Blue Badge holders can park in them for any length of time between 10.30am and 6.00am the following morning (or from 5.00pm for the bays on Davygate). Businesses cannot load in the bays outside their allotted times and Blue Badge holders cannot park in them during loading hours.
Take part in the Experimental Blue Badge Parking Bays Consultation.
We'll monitor use of the bays and gather feedback before 21 November 2024.
Riverside Path Improvement Consultation
The Riverside Path between Jubilee Terrace and Scarborough Bridge is a key route on the pedestrian and cycle network connecting the west of the city with the city centre. We're asking residents and users of the path to share their views on detailed designs to improve the riverside path. This follows previous engagement carried out in December 2022 to January 2023 to understand local priorities. Since then, we've been carrying out work to design a scheme that reflects the priorities of local residents whilst also meeting the budget and requirements of the funding.
Take part in the Riverside Path Improvement Consultation.
This consultations closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 1 December 2024
Murton Neighbourhood Plan submission consultation
We're consulting on the Murton Neighbourhood Plan as Murton Parish Council submitted the Submission Version Murton Neighbourhood Plan and associated documents to City of York Council on 16 October 2024. Once a Neighbourhood Plan is submitted, we're required to "publicise the documents submitted on our website and in such other manner as we consider is likely to bring the proposal to the attention of people who live, work or carry on business in the neighbourhood area" to be in compliance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations (2012, as amended).
Take part in the Murton Neighbourhood Plan submission consultation.
The consultation closes on Friday 20 December 2024.
Our second budget consultation
We want all York residents to take part in our second budget consultation. This is your chance to have a say in how York’s money is spent. We want to make sure the services you need continue, even though we have a £30 million money gap.
We want to know your views on our plans to raise money, save costs, and keep key services running. Your feedback will help shape the final budget. Your responses will inform decisions but are not votes to adopt or reject a measure. We’ve aimed for clear communication to ensure that everyone can understand and take part.
Take part in our second budget consultation
This consultation will close on Wednesday 1 January 2025.
Survivor Voice Survey
We're capturing victim voice through several different channels across the city. We're hoping to establish a group of adult victim survivors to gather an in-depth local picture of some key issues within York. Specifically, we're seeking to gain an insight into the journey from the recognition of being in an abusive situation to then telling somebody else about it (disclosure) and then the process of accessing support.
Take part in the Survivor Voice Survey.
