Blue Badge parking/Loading Bay Experimental
Traffic Regulation Order
I’m
writing to let you know that five new Blue Badge parking/loading
bays will come into operation on Blake Street, Davygate and Lendal
on 21 May 2024.
These bays were
approved at the Executive Member for Economy and Transport’s
decision session on 16 April 2024 (https://democracy.york.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=1061&MId=14345),
and are being created under an Experimental Traffic Regulation
Order (ETRO). The recommendation to create these parking bays was
in response to a consultation which began in November 2023, on
improving accessibility for disabled people in York city
centre.
The bays for Blue Badge holders’ use are
on:
·
Blake Street, two
bays on the right-hand side of the road between McDonalds and St
Helen’s Square, from 10:30am til 6am the next
morning
·
Lendal, one bay on
the left-hand side of the road outside the former Post Office, from
10:30am daily til 6am the next morning.
·
Davygate, two bays
on the right-hand side of the road outside Betty’s
café. They can be accessed and used from 5pm (when the
footstreet hours end) til 6am the next morning.
Once parked
with a valid Blue Badge on display, the vehicle can stay there
unrestricted until the following morning at 6am.
To meet the needs of local businesses, the bays
will be used for loading only from 6am til 10:30am each morning.
Blue Badge holders cannot use the bays during these
times.
As part of the
ETRO, Blue Badge holders, local businesses and residents are
invited to comment on these bays before 20 November. Please tell us
how easy they are to manoeuvre into, their location and hours of
use, for example.
Depending on
users’ experiences, adjustments may be made to the bays which
would initiate the start of a further 6-month consultation
period. A formal decision on the ETRO would then be required
within 18 months of date when the bays first opened.
Please share
your views on the proposal and on the bays by emailing
highway.regulation@york.gov.uk,
or writing to Highway
Regulation, City of York Council, West Offices, York YO1 6GA.
Please send your views to us before the date 20 November
2024, which is the specified in the Notice.
Yours faithfully
