Summary

The first phase of consultation focussed on the 5 principles that, if approved, will help shape an Executive report in October 2023.

  1. Return to previous access - to revert to the Blue Badge accessibility measures that were in place before November 2021.
  2. City centre events - some events may require Blue Badge access to be suspended at times (for example during the Christmas Markets).
  3. Recognising security risks - the Police will have power to lock down all access to the city centre using an Anti-Terrorism Traffic Regulation Order.
  4. Finding solutions - if the Council Executive agrees to restore Blue Badge access through the new hostile vehicle barriers, then the council will work with badge holders on how to achieve this.
  5. Longer term improvements - we're committed to considering and implementing longer-term improvements to accessibility in the city.

All responses will be collated to inform a decision at the Council Executive meeting in October 2023.

The consultation closed on Monday 18 September 2023.
