City centre disabled access

We've put a number of measures in place in York city centre to improve access for residents and visitors with disabilities.

Most council-run car parks have designated disabled parking bays, situated for easy access; Blue Badge holders can park in any of our car parks, free of charge (within opening hours), in either a disabled or standard bay.

You'll need a RADAR key to use 'disabled access toilets' during opening hours, unless an attendant is present. Facilities are unavailable between 8.00pm and 8.00am, even with a key.
