Fuel for Thought Air Quality Campaign Feedback
We ran an air quality campaign called ‘Fuel for Thought’ between November 2023 and February 2024, to raise awareness about local air pollution caused by domestic solid fuel burning and the effects this can have on health.
Research with residents of York helped to shape this campaign. We'd now like to find out what you thought of the campaign and if your attitude towards solid fuel burners has changed.
Provide Air Quality Campaign Feedback
This consultation closes on Wednesday 7 August 2024, at midday.
York Advocacy Hub Survey
We want to know what people think about the services York Advocacy Hub provides to young adults and adults, and what is important to people when being supported by an advocate. This will help us understand what people who use advocacy services need, and how we can improve support in the future.
Take part in the York Advocacy Hub Survey.
This consultation closes on Sunday 18 August 2024.
Local Plan Main Modifications Consultation
Following the Local Plan Examination hearing session in March, the Inspectors have requested further proposed modifications to policy H5 ‘Gypsies and Travellers’.
Take part in the Local Plan Main Modifications Consultation
This consultation closes on Friday 30 August 2024.
Our Big Budget Conversation
Our Big Budget Conversation is your chance to tell us where to spend and what to save. We need to save £30 million over the next 3 years. There is less money coming in and more need for services because of rising costs and an ageing population. We might not balance our budget without cutting or reducing services.
Take part in Our Big Budget Conversation.
This consultation closes on Sunday 1 September 2024.
City of York sexual and reproductive health services provision consultation
The provision of free, comprehensive, open access sexual health and contraceptive services is a mandated Public Health function of local authorities as part of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.
We're working closely with the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to review the provision of sexual and reproductive health services in York, as part of the re-procurement of the service for the next 10 years.
See further information about the City of York sexual and reproductive health services provision consultation.
This consultation closes on Monday 2 September 2024, at 2.00pm.
Experimental Blue Badge Parking Bays Consultation
Following the Council’s consultation about city centre access for Blue Badge holders, 5 new experimental parking bays are available from 21 May 2024 for Blue Badge holders to park in, and businesses to load from.
The bays have been created where previously there were double yellow lines. On them, business could load and Blue Badge holders could park for up to 3 hours.
The new bays now allow loading from 6.00am to 10.30am, and Blue Badge holders can park in them for any length of time between 10.30am and 6.00am the following morning (or from 5.00pm for the bays on Davygate). Business cannot load in the bays outside their allotted times and Blue Badge holders cannot park in them during loading hours.
