The Issue

We call upon the York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust and the City of York Council to work together to urgently undertake measures to address the serious and regular congestion and queuing back from the hospital car park into Wigginton road.

The congestion is badly affecting both nearby junctions and roads beyond, and causes major delays to local bus services 1, 5 and 6 and other traffic. Journeys, including those to the hospital, are unreliable, time consuming and stressful. Residents who live near the hospital are badly affected too - the congestion increases local air and noise pollution and access difficulties.
