The York Council has agreed that customers of the proposed cinema at the Community Stadium will be able to use the park and ride car park “on an evening, out of hours of normal operation”. In a behind closed doors decision session officials agreed a contract to “enter into such an agreement “if and when the site and cinema are complete and in full operation”
Currently park and ride services operate to Monks Cross until 9:15pm each week day evening. The access gates are locked at 9:45pm to prevent overnight parking.
The expectation had been that bus services would continue until later in the evening when football matches were being held at the new stadium.
No details of the financial arrangements for any contract have been released.
The Community Stadium project – which is running 4 years behind schedule – will next be discussed by the Council’s Executive on 13th July.
