‘You’re welcome!’ Blue badge holders allowed back into York centre as ban reversed

BLUE Badge holders are welcome in York’s city centre again, after a controversial ‘ban’ was today reversed.

The first cars carrying blue badge holders were allowed through the bollards at Goodramgate by members of the city council’s city centre access team at 12 noon today.

There were cheers from watching disability campaigners as they entered the city.

“It’s just fantastic!” said campaigner Marilyn Crawshaw of Reverse the Ban and York Disability Rights Network.
