A final decision on the plans is now expected at Thursday's meeting

Nearly 100 people attended a meeting on Tuesday night where councillors provisionally approved the plans, which include new charges for night parking.

The council says it has addressed concerns by relaxing restrictions in some areas, but residents disagree.

Now the Labour group has called for a cross-party meeting to discuss the plans before a final decision is made.

The council received four petitions and 123 objections to the original proposals and 246 objections from members of St Michael Le Belfry Church.

Spaces not guaranteed

In response, the council has adapted the plans by providing discounted parking passes for residents and evening workers, extending the hours of the park and ride scheme until 2100 GMT, and allowing churchgoers to park on certain streets on Sundays where parking would otherwise be banned.

But residents are still not happy and say the city can only suffer from such measures.

Josey Good has lived in the city for almost 50 years and said she was appalled at the proposals.

"I'm going to have to pay �84 residents' parking in my own street which doesn't guarantee me a space, plus �1 for any visitors.

"I already pay �90 a month council tax which is going up by 8.8%, so I feel very angry.

Car park charges

"I think it's going to ruin the city and will affect not only the residents but also tourists coming to York."

But executive member for planning and transport councillor Anne Reid told BBC Radio York they were trying to get a balanced response to the requests and concerns of residents.

"I think the vast majority of other towns and cities across our region have introduced car parking charges and I think if people are using our car parks at any time then it is a service that we're providing.

"We will be providing 24 hour CCTV coverage of our car parks, the car parks have to be lit and they have to be surfaced.

"That's a service that needs to be paid for and should, we feel, be borne by all the car park users rather than just by daytime car park users."
