ANNEX A

Dear Resident

Request for a Residents’ Priority Parking Scheme (Respark)

We are writing to you because we have been contacted by a group of residents on Broadway West requesting we arrange to reconsult with you all about Resident Parking.  Concerns have been raised that the adjacent Resident Parking area on the Danesmead Estate has resulted in additional congestion, obstruction and pressure for parking amenity on Broadway West.

You may remember when we consulted residents of Broadway West in May 2018 the majority of those who responded from each of Broadway West and Westfield Drive did not support a scheme.  Consequently, no further action was taken at that time on these streets and the Danesmead Estate scheme was implemented in September 2019.

In October 2018 the Executive Member for Transport and Planning instructed officers to reconsult with residents of both Broadway West and Westfield Drive for future inclusion within a scheme if further representations from residents were received within an 18 month period from implementation of the neighbouring scheme. 

Further details about Resident Parking and the current costs of permits can be found on the City of York Website https://www.york.gov.uk/

Consultation documents

The following information and documents are enclosed:

1. A plan outlining the consultation area

2. A flow chart with approximate timescales

3. A questionnaire sheet with freepost envelope

A resident parking scheme for Broadway West would be enforced by entry signage at the junction with Fulford Road.  Additional repeater signs would be placed at strategic positions on existing lamp columns.

The two streets will be considered independently. We can implement a scheme on Broadway West without Westfield Drive and vice versa depending on the results of this consultation.

Please note:  you are not required to display a permit in your vehicle if it is parked on the drive access across the verge to your property.  There is an exemption in the Traffic Regulation Order for a vehicle: “Parked, stopped or waiting within an authorised vehicular access linking the carriageway of the road to adjacent private land or premises or parked, stopped or waiting within a metalled area of verge only accessible from the main carriageway by means of an authorised vehicular access provided that such vehicle is not left in circumstances whereby any part of it projects onto or overhangs the carriageway, footway or any part of non-metalled verge over which that authorised vehicular access is provided.”

You would need to display a permit if the vehicle is parked fully on the verge or overhangs the footpath or carriageway.

I have enclosed a questionnaire sheet for you to complete and return.

We can only accept one sheet from each household.  Please complete and return to us in the Freepost envelope provided by Friday 18^th December 2020.

If you prefer you can email your response to highway.regulation@york.gov.uk Please give the information we have asked for, including your name and address.

The results of the consultation will be reported to an Executive Member Public Decision Session (held virtually at this time) for a decision on how to proceed. You will be informed of the date of this meeting a few weeks before it takes place.  We will write to you after the meeting to inform you of the decision made and what happens next.

Please email highway.regulation@york.gov.uk  if you require any further information at this time.

Yours faithfully
