IS there any reason why coaches bringing day tourists to the city could not operate using the Park and Ride system? By delivering their coach loads into York, and not returning to the Park and Ride car park until the arranged times to collect their passengers, the valuable car park spaces in Clarence Street car park would not be depleted.

This car park is such an asset to people visiting York District Hospital and Bootham Park Hospital and it would be a great pity were we to lose spaces, knowing particularly the inadequacy of the York District Hospital car park.
