Plans to turn another York street access only will be presented by councillors tonight (Thursday).

A petition will be presented to the full meeting of City of York Council seeking investigation of a low traffic neighbourhood for Harcourt Street in Heworth.

Harcourt Street, York

Heworth Ward Councillor Claire Douglas will present the petition. She said the street has the benefit of having other roads running off it at each end that provide a convenient, viable alternative for drivers to use – and one that would add almost no extra time to journeys.

“This is a fairly short stretch of road and switching it to a low traffic street that’s only used for access will make a big difference to its residents,” Cllr Douglas said.

“Most residents living on the street have signed a petition calling for the council to explore this option, so I hope this will now happen promptly.

“When there is negligible impact on other road users, this makes perfect sense.”

The proposal for Harcourt Street would be reasonably straight-forward to implement, were it to be approved, and would maintain access for residents of Harcourt Street, Fleming Avenue, Glen Road and Emmerson Street.

The petition will be presented at tonight’s meeting of Full Council at 6.30pm at the Guildhall.
