The City of York web site says:
During Royal Ascot at York radical plans were brought in to manage the way racegoers travelled to and from York Racecourse. The key objectives of the plan were to insulate the race meeting from the rest of the city and to minimise the impact of the event on local residents.
We are now asking York residents to give their views on traffic arrangements for future race meetings to help shape future traffic plans. There is still ongoing consultation through the Talkabout citizen's panel, through the Micklegate Your Ward newsletter and through ongoing discussion with local businesses. Anyone wanting to give their views can email them to here. Please make sure that your views reach us by Friday 16 September 2005.
Once the consultation has been completed we will look at what measures residents and businesses would like to see for future race meetings. How the new measures are funded will also have to be addressed. All the parties involved, including the racecourse, are now being asked to consider funding options.

This year's Gala raised £1500 which will be used to support the activities of local groups and organisations over the next few months. We are happy for people to make suggestions about donations. Once again, many thanks to you all - and next year we promise it won't rain!
