(N/P/None)

The St Sampson’s centre is a community social centre for the over 60’s.  A number of their users access the facility by community transport (door to door service) or have a blue badge (disabled) and are currently able to park nearby - though vehicular access is contrary to the existing traffic regulation order.

 

The priority 1 area of the city centre (see annex A) provides a significant number of services including retail, food and drink as well as access to business services such as banking, some hotels and other non-retail businesses.

Completion Date

Reduction in accessibility of the St Sampson’s centre during the footstreet hours, will negatively impact those over 60 who rely on this facility for social interaction, help and guidance.

 

The restricted access into the priority 1 area of the city centre (see annex A) will increase the distance between available parking spaces and destinations for blue badge holders to park during the footstreet hours, which depending on the severity of the individual’s disability may prove to make access into the city centre during the footstreet hours more restrictive. 

Y

The need to secure the city centre against hostile vehicle attack is considered vital to protect residents and visitors in York city centre during the busiest part of the day.

The city’s Dial & Ride service will continue to have access to the St. Sampson’s centre to drop off and pick up passengers including disabled residents.

Alternative parking for Blue Badge holders, which is used currently when St. Sampson’s Square is closed for events on up to 90 days a year, is available close to the area.
