Who We Are

We are a coalition of charities, associations, action groups and other organisations who aim to reverse the ban on blue badge holders’ access to York’s pedestrian streets.

Our Call to Action

We believe people with a Blue Badge should be able to access York’s city centre in 2022 and thereafter, as they could in 2019.
 

We call on the City of York Council and North Yorkshire Police to enter into meaningful discussions with disabled people; to agree access to the foot streets with sufficient parking spaces, designed in a way that addresses legitimate security concerns.

WE DID IT!  DELIVERED MORE THAN 2,700 POSTCARDS TO THE COUNCIL ON 20TH OCTOBER.  AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT  –  AND A GREAT PEACEFUL PROTEST DESPITE THE ATROCIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS! SEE ‘OUR POSTCARD CAMPAIGN PAGE’ FOR MORE!
