Blue badge parking during York Pride

There will be some brief changes to blue badge parking in York on Saturday 7 June to allow the Pride parade to pass safely through the city centre.

Road closures

Church Street will be closed to all traffic from 10.30am until around 1.30pm.  St Helen’s Square will be closed from 11.30am until around 1.30pm.

Blue badge parking suspension

Parking on St Helen’s Square will be suspended from 10.30am until around 1.30pm. This means that blue badge holders will still be able to get through to either park in Lendal or exit onto Museum Street until 11.30am.

Parking available during the parade

Limited spaces will be available on the double yellow lines in King’s Square. Access for blue badge holders only will be via Goodramgate into Kings Square, vehicles will be able to exit via Colliergate.

Badge holders will be able to park their cars on Blake Street (between McDonald’s and St Helen’s Square) until 11.30am but will not be able to move their vehicles again until the parade has passed through the area.

Limited spaces are also available on Lendal (outside the old Post Office)
