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

Overview

Arup are undertaking an independent review of car parking charges in three 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. 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
