Section 122 of the Local Government Act – Notice of intention to appropriate public open space for highway purposes off Wigginton Road

Notice is given that City of York Council in exercise of its powers under section 122 of the Local Government Act 1972 intends to appropriate land at Wigginton Road, opposite the allotments, north of the junction with Crichton Avenue.

A plan of the areas proposed to become adopted highway is available at www.york.gov.uk/ProposedLandDisposalPlan.   

A copy of the plan can also be requested by email (see contact details below) and/or consulted at the Council’s offices (see address above).  

All objections and responses to this consultation should be sent no later than 7 December 2025 to highway.regulation@york.gov.uk or to the postal address above, with the reference “Cocoa Gardens land appropriation”.
