Assets of Community Value

How can CYC: 

· Promote adding to the local register of Assets of Community Value; 

· Make it easier for residents and community groups to nominate an ACV; 

· Celebrate the success stories of ACVs in our community to encourage new nominations;

· Prepare for law changes on the Community Right to Buy in securing a wider range of ACVs.

Car Parking provision across the city
Covering public, private and Park & Ride provision, Blue Badge parking, income received, usage, impact on closing Castle Car Park on the wider estate, wider aims e.g. shifting to less polluting vehicles, approach taken for busy shopping areas outside of the city-centre (e.g. Haxby, Acomb Front St), future of Res Park.

Parking Enforcement
Costs of service / Income generated - scope to improve?  Can we offer services to private land owners?
Activity across entire local authority area - How many enforcement officers do we have, how many fines issued, which areas of their city are they issued in, how often are Res Park zones visited.  A view of this over the last 5 - 10 years would be helpful for identifying trends.
Position on pavement parking
Consistency of enforcement (seen officers apply different limits to Double Yellow Lines)
Hotline performance - how many reports logged, how many of these received visits in a timely manner (or at all)
Out-of-hours drop in provision due to over-stretched Police unable to prioritise parking

York’s Pay Gap
