Free Parking in Town Farm Car Park 3 -11 December

Free festive parking in Ryedale District Council’s long stay car parks

Free festive parking has been approved in Ryedale District Council’s long stay car parks from 3-11 December 2022.

Ryedale District Council has taken the decision to support businesses and citizens in the district who are suffering the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and the economic climate.

The free parking will be offered at the long stay car parks in:

  • Cleveland Way – Helmsley
  • Town Farm – Kirkbymoorside
  • Vivis Lane and Eastgate – Pickering
  • Water Lane and Wentworth Street – Malton (parking charges will still apply to the short stay car park in Water Lane)

Phillip Spurr, Director of Place and Resources for Ryedale District Council said: “We’re delighted to offer free parking in our long stay car parks in the run up to Christmas. Ryedale has a lot to offer in terms of unique gift shops, coffee shops and independent stores. We’ve chosen to offer the free parking in our long stay car parks to create a stress-free shopping experience.

“We hope it alleviates the pressures businesses are facing – especially in the hospitality and retail sectors.  The economic climate is difficult for everyone. Hopefully the move will encourage footfall, boost local spending and ease the burden for citizens too.”

20mph in Kirkbymoorside town centre

The Town Council have applied to NYCC Highways Authority for a reduced speed limit of 20mph in the town centre, for the length of Piercy End, Market Place and High Market Place, and on Grey Lane in Keldholme. Whilst confirmation has been received that the application for a reduced speed limit in Keldholme will not be feasible, North Yorkshire Police and NYCC Highways Authority have no objection to a reduced speed limit in the town centre.

NYCC Highways & Transportation have consulted with the Statutory Consultees, being other emergency services, District Council etc, with no objections raised. Now a public consultation is in progress with a closing date of 4 November. If there are no objections, then the 20mph speed reduction will be passed. If objections are received, then a Report will be presented to the NYCC Director and Executive Members for determination.

Traffic surveys have been carried out at each location. Click here for the traffic survey reports.
