You need to open up Blake Street and Castlegate at least, they are really not that busy most of the time. My wife sent pictures to Julian Sturdy proving this. Goodramgate should be open to cars as well ideally but at the very least it should open by 6pm not 8pm. That is completely over the top.

The wardens controlling the barriers who let delivery vehicles in could allow blue badge holders in. There was a green badge city centre sytem that allowed higher rate DLA recipients into the city centre, why not reintroduce that?

SPEED HUMPS Speed humps stop me being able to use buses to get into and out of town and stop me being able to access all sorts of other places in town and mean I have to go on extremely circuitous (and expensive and polluting) journeys to get to places I used to be able to get to directly and simply and cheaply before humps were put down. And other places I used to visit just become impossible to access because of humps - or I have to accept that I'm going to be made ill/injured by trying to access them. (By humps I mean all 'cushions' and humps etc.) I have been explaining this to CYC for over 20 years, and still they continue to put down humps which restrict disabled people's access and cause them pain and injury. (Only this month, another one appeared in Heslington - without any consultation - which has deprived me of my bus route to my doctor's surgery and shops. Thanks a bunch. It's great to be disabled in York - NOT.) 2. CAR PARK CLOSURES Most disabled people don't have a blue badge, but many of us can't walk long distances. So each time you close a car park, that prevents us from getting to nearby places. I used to be able to attend chapel in St Saviourgate because I could park in the car park (near the ex-ambulance point) behind the Stonebow/Peaseholm Green. There is now a building there (the Hiscox building, I believe). Other car parks are too far away from Chapel for me to be able to walk there. So, all the services, concerts, talks, workshops etc. etc. etc. that I used to attend at Chapel, I can no longer get to by myself. You have removed an entire swathe of my social and personal and professional life. And when you remove the Castle car park, that will be another whole swathe of my life that I won't be able to access. I use that car park to get to e.g. the Friends Meeting House, the Grand Opera, the Merchant Adventurers, as well as for local restaurants and shops and museums. So that's another whole swathe of personal, professional and social activities I won't be able to access. Thank you very much.

This means that many disabled people can't access the blue badge spaces and disabled bays that exist.

Getting in and out of multiple vehicles is exhausting, and often the taxi can't get you to the destination you need to access. An expansion of the excellent shop mobility scheme, with one or two more carparks offering shopmobility scooters (and perhaps hiring pushchairs for cyclists with young children too). Blue Badge cycling access on the footstreets, to enable cyclists that use their cycle as a mobility aid to get themselves to the door of their destination.

I use crutches to walk and cannot walk far without becoming tired and out of breath. The changes made by York City Council to vehicle access to the city centre mean that I can no longer get close enough to the places I want to visit. I used to often park in Blake Street or Lendal Street which gave me access to nearby shops for the short shopping trips that I want to do. I never had any trouble in finding somewhere to park with the access my Blue Badge gave me to parking on double yellow lines. I do not want to use the taxi shuttle service provided from Monkgate car park because of the increased risk of Covid-19, especially as I am already at an increased risk as a disabled person. I also used to meet with family to have evening meals in restaurants on Stonegate and Fossgate. I can now no longer get close enough to restaurants until after 8 pm and the nature of my condition means that I am more tired by this time of day. The condition I have developed 2 years ago and I became unable to visit the city centre because it was too far to walk from the car parks. When I received my Blue Badge it made a great deal of difference to me in to park in the city centre and to gain access to the shops and restaurants again and it really improved my independence and wellbeing. I feel that accessibility to the city centre has been ruled out for myself and may other people with diverse disabilities. Neither Somewhat disagree Strongly disagree Strongly disagree Strongly disagree Strongly disagree I no longer have access to use shops and restaurants in York city centre because I cannot park close enough.

I also no longer have access to park near restaurants that I used to visit in Fossgate and Stonegate as I would choose to eat at about 6 or 7 pm. It might be helpful for York councillors to meet with Blue Badge holders with different disabilities and parents of children with disabilities to see how difficult access to the city centre is for them now, I had no problem accessing the city centre before the extension of the footstreet areas when I could park near the places I wanted to visit. I do appreciate that this is beneficial to probably the majority of users but for many it has caused difficulty in accessing the area or in some cases has completely ruled out access to the area. Even if I had my husband with me, I could not be dropped near where I wanted to be because there is no access. On top of this the hours have been extended so that access has been restricted further and there is no access to Fossgate. Please consider returning the footstreets zone to its pre-Covid19 area and/or reducing the footstreets hours so that there is at least the ability to have some time for vehicle access to York when the shops are open and to allow access to restaurants etc. earlier in the day. The changes made make me feel sad and discriminated against and have stopped me having access to a place that I love. 152 51 Online Yes 40-55 Yes Physical disability Long standing illness or health condition Yes Car Don't use Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Shopping To access services (E.g.
