Right to Challenge Car Parking Price – Bishopthorpe Road, Micklegate, The Groves and Heworth

Overview

Arup are undertaking an independent review of car parking charges in four areas of the city.

Traders and residents in Bishopthorpe Road, Micklegate and The Groves have initiated a challenge to parking charges through The Right to Challenge Parking Policies Statutory Guidance under the Traffic Management Act 2004. Separately, traders in Heworth have raised a petition against the proposed increases in car parking charges. This follows the Council’s decision to increase charges for the local, council owned, car parking.

On completion, the Council will publish the findings from the independent review and details of when it will be considered. The outcome of the decision will be published via the council website.

Why your views matter

Your feedback will help ensure the independent review of car parking charges reflects the needs and concerns of local residents, traders and the wider community.
