The Cabinet Member considered a report which advised of a 76 name petition received from residents of Nunthorpe Crescent, Nunthorpe Gardens and Nunthorpe View requesting City of York Council to take action to resolve the problem of non-residential parking. The petitioners had specified they do not want permit parking. The petition was attached at Annex A.

Officers outlined the report and advised that if a resident parking scheme was unacceptable and not to be considered, then alternative options are extremely limited and would apply equally to residents and non-residents. The suggested course of action was a formal consultation on the options, to include an option of taking no action, as suggested by a member of the public.

The Cabinet Member commented that there was no easy solution and the best course of action was to consult residents to obtain opinions on the options. It was requested that the results of the survey be brought back to the Cabinet Member at a future decision session.
