Hackney Carriage Unmet Demand Survey
We value your feedback on taxi and licensed vehicle services. This survey is being carried out independently of City of York Council by LVSA. While the questionnaire focuses on hackney carriage services, we also welcome your views on any other issues related to hackney carriage and private hire vehicle services. At the end of the survey, you’ll have the opportunity to provide additional comments or feedback.
There are two versions of the survey: one for the public and another for taxi drivers and local trade members.
Take part in the public version of the hackney carriage survey
Take part in the trade version of the hackney carriage survey
This survey closes on Sunday 7 December 2025.
For alternative formats or support, contact LVSA by telephone: 0131 235 2575 or email: enquiries@lvsa.co.uk
This external survey is covered by our Public Protection Privacy Notice.
Statement of Community Involvement
We are asking for you views on the revised Statement of Community Involvement
The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is a document which covers how the Council intends to consult on planning policy and development management matters and is a statutory part of City of York’s development plan. While there is no legal requirement to consult on a revised SCI, we consider it best practice for the public to have their say on the content set out in the revised SCI itself in relation to process.
Take part in the Statement of Community Involvement Survey
The consultation closes on Wednesday 10 December 2025.
Survivor Voice Survey
We're capturing victim voice through several different channels across the city. We're hoping to establish a group of adult victim survivors to gather an in-depth local picture of some key issues within York. Specifically, we're seeking to gain an insight into the journey from the recognition of being in an abusive situation to then telling somebody else about it (disclosure) and then the process of accessing support.
Take part in the Survivor Voice Survey
This survey closes on Wednesday 31 December 2025.
Local Flood Risk Management Strategy survey
We've created a draft local flood risk management strategy in partnership with the Environment Agency and Yorkshire Water.
Our draft Local Flood Risk Management Strategy is the document we're consulting on. We're looking for our residents and business owners to provide feedback on the draft strategy.
Take part in the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy survey
Alternatively, email: frm@york.gov.uk to provide feedback.
This consultation closes on Sunday 11 January 2026.
Garden Waste collections survey
We’re inviting residents who don’t currently have a garden waste collection service, to tell us if they’re interested in joining our scheme. The information you provide will help us to see if we can potentially extend the service across York, including those areas which are part of our Bags to Bins project.
Let us know if you’re interested in getting a garden waste collection
Please note: the Garden Waste Subscription Scheme is a paid service; expressing your interest in the scheme does not guarantee service provision will be available at your property in future.
If you’re unable to complete the garden waste collections survey online please contact us, telephone: 01904 551551 and a member of our team will support you.
