Current Our City Local Issues General Questions Get involved Your details Leave this field blank Aside from efficiency savings where would you like to see the council's focus be: Keeping council tax low at the expense of services Increasing charges - for example for the second green bin, parking and planning fees. Having higher levels of council tax to spend more on services How do you feel about anti social behaviour compared to five years ago? There is more There is less There is about the same More pedestrianisation has happened in the city centre, what do you think about this? I welcome it and would like to see more It looks like going too far and we should not do more I think the current foot streets restrictions are too short (i.e. vehicles should be banned for longer) I think the current foot streets restrictions are too long (i.e. vehicles should be allowed more) I am concerned moves to greater pedestrianisation are making life too difficult for disabled people Do you perceive the city centre to be too focused on visitors rather than residents? Yes No Not sure Which best matches your view on potentially volunteering?

Yes No Unsure Do you agree that the council should open up and maintain more green spaces for the public? Yes, I agree No, I don't agree Not sure There are significant national rules on fracking but which best represents your view in York: I support it as a way of getting energy and would like to see it I totally oppose fracking I would view applications case by case, like other planning matters Since April 2016, York BID has been investing in improvements and enhancements to the centre of York. Do you think the city centre has improved since then? ? Yes, I think it has improved. No, I don’t think it has improved. Unsure When the Council gives planning permission to a housing development, what proportion should be 'affordable' homes?? 0%-10% 10%-20% 20%-30% 30%-40% 40%+ There should be no set amount
