Narrative:

De-iced with the 1 & typ 4 fluid. Taxi out to xxr (full length). To (takeoff) delay approximately 20 minutes due to ATC and passenger traffic. Initially; normal takeoff. At 'positive rate/gear up' call; landing gear handle would only retract 1/2 way to the 'off' detent. Leveled off at 5;000 feet; 230 kts. Ran ECAM left/G retraction fault procedure. Left landing gear handle down. Ran fuel consumption procedure. Determined we would land with approximately 11;100 lbs of fuel. Arrival weather was good with -sn (light snow). Attempted to contact flight operations to share this plan. This was a problem as this frequency was shared with some other air operations center north of ZZZ1. Finally able to verbally (and via ACARS) confirm our plan with dispatch to continue to ZZZ and land with less fuel than scheduled. Dispatch said they would inform approach control of our situation and coordinate priority handling due to our lower fuel state. This never happened and we informed approach ourselves. Approach and landing were uneventful. During taxi in to ramp; we were informed by ramp control to hold our position on the center line until marshallers arrived. Initial (lead-in) marshaller attempted to direct us to turn into a lone tug on our right side that was driving behind the white line; but was not clear for the turn. The rest of the parking was uneventful.

Narrative: De-iced with the 1 & typ 4 fluid. Taxi out to XXR (full length). TO (Takeoff) delay approximately 20 minutes due to ATC and passenger traffic. Initially; normal takeoff. At 'positive rate/gear up' call; landing gear handle would only retract 1/2 way to the 'off' detent. Leveled off at 5;000 feet; 230 kts. Ran ECAM L/G RETRACTION FAULT procedure. Left landing gear handle down. Ran fuel consumption procedure. Determined we would land with approximately 11;100 lbs of fuel. Arrival weather was good with -SN (Light Snow).
