The free parking is part of the council’s Economic Recovery – Transport and Place strategy, to build resident, visitor and stakeholder confidence that York is a safe, healthy and attractive place for everyone to enjoy.

Council leader Keith Aspden said: “We are delighted to be able to offer free parking to encourage more people to shop locally and support York’s economy.

“I know our local businesses are looking forward to welcoming residents and visitors back, as they continue to adapt to the changes in national guidance.”

Deputy leader of the council Andy D’Agorne said: “A free parking offer is an important part of our approach to supporting businesses getting back on their feet, but we are also helping through extending the footsteets and introducing measures that encourage walking and cycling info the city centre.”

A report detailing the proposals will be taken to an Executive meeting on Thursday June 25 to approve the free parking incentive
