4. Introduction of Blue Badge car parking bays on Lendal, Blake Street and Davygate (10:03am)
Resolved: To approve the advertisement and progression of an ETRO for the introduction of the proposed Blue Badge/Loading bays at
i. Blake Street and Lendal, which will be accessible for Blue Badge holders during and outside the footstreet hours (between 10.30am and 6am the next day, with loading between 6am and 10.30am), and
ii. Davygate outside of footstreet hours (between 5pm and 6am the next day, with loading between 6am and 10.30am).
Reason: This will allow for the experimental introduction of the bays and allow for ongoing review of the use to provide a clear picture of the impact of the proposal, whilst still allowing for some amendments if required during the experimental period. This option will allow for a quicker installation of the bays to trail the change, following requests for more accessible parking options in the pedestrian area.
