City of York Council plans to introduce parking restrictions in Osbaldwick have drawn 541 petition signatures against them.

City of York Council is proposing to introduce parking restrictions across five roads in Osbaldwick and one in Murton Way. The plans would see no waiting at any time restrictions on both sides of the Osbaldwick Link Road, running from just after its junction with Murton Way to the B&Q entrance. A clearway would be created from just after the junction with Outgang Lane on Murton Way to where the road passes below the A64. Double yellow lines would also be painted at the junction of Murton Way and Beckett Drive and on the westbound side of Osbaldwick Lane at its junction with Osbaldwick Village and Murton Way.

The council states the proposals aim to tackle obstructive parking and improve visibility at junctions in the village. However, the plans have drawn 20 formal objections and a petition opposing them has garnered 541 signatures. Concerns have been raised about the potential impact on local businesses and St Thomas' Church in the village.

The proposals will go before a council transport meeting on Thursday, 22 October for a decision. They were advertised for public consultation in July after council Labour transport spokesperson Cllr Kate Ravilious agreed to progress with them in October last year.
