City of York Council will start work on Wednesday 13th March to construct parking bays for residents of Dringfield Close, off Chaloners Road.
This scheme is programmed to take 2 weeks, weather permitting and involves installing EcoGrid (plastic cell) surfacing. These will be filled with gravel and a tarmac vehicle crossing will be constructed to access each bay. The contractor will be working between 8am and 3pm Monday to Friday, although some out of hours work may be required.
The scheme is supported by a combination of Ward Committee and Housing Environmental Improvement Programme funds. It comes soon after the recent creation new concrete bin storage area in Dringfield Close.

Woodlands playground out of action
The Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust has locked the playground on the Woodland estate, off Bellhouse Way / Sherringham Drive. The park was closed after the slide had recently been vandalised and graffiti had been sprayed on the benches.
It is very disappointing that the mindless actions of a minority spoils things for everyone else.
White lines to tackle problem parking
In response to residents’ complaints about problem parking, local Lib Dem councillors have arranged for white ‘H-Bar’ markings to be painted on Silverdale Court. Residents had reported that some cars were being parked across the entrances to the garages and car ports.
Trees planted around Dringhouses & Woodthorpe
Thanks to funding from the Ward Committee budget, trees have been planted around the area. Some replace trees that have been felled and others are new.
We are hopeful of being able to plant more trees provided that issues relating to utilities beneath verges can be resolved.
Drainage improvement works underway on Tadcaster Road
Following complaints raised by local Lib Dem councillors, works are underway on Tadcaster Road to improve surface water drainage outside the shops near the junction with Slingsby Grove.
The parking bay next to the bus stop build-out is regularly flooded and the drainage channel clogged up with leaf mulch. It is hoped that new drainage arrangements will improve the situation and make it less likely that motorists will choose to park in the adjacent ‘Loading Only’ layby, which causes line of sight issues for residents exiting Slingsby Grove.
