Below are the enforcement locations for North Yorkshire Police’s mobile safety cameras for week commencing Wednesday 12 March 2014.
The safety cameras are now more visible then ever before with each of the three vehicles bearing the same hi-vis livery as North Yorkshire Police’s marked vehicle fleet.
All safety camera locations are published on the force website along with an explanation of the various route types.
City of York Council is holding a public consultation about the future use of Burnholme Community College site on Saturday 15 March.
The drop in consultation event, which will be held onsite at the college, will take place between 11am and 3pm will offer an opportunity to meet with the project team and comment on the future use of the site.
Volunteers in action in the Foxwood Park earlier in the year
The spring clean will consist of various tasks, such as litter clearance, edging off grass verges, cutting back over grown vegetation and fence repairs.
Volunteers are being called upon to help spruce up Nelsons Lane play are on March 25.
York residents will also have the opportunity to nominate communal spaces for the team to spruce up and help make a smarter York.
This can be done by going to https://www.york.gov.uk/springclean and adding a new request. Residents and businesses can also volunteer to carry out tasks in their local area.
Cannes pitch for York growth
It’s another jaunt to Cannes for those supporting York’s unrestricted growth.
The “MIPIM” started yesterday in Cannes. York is represented – with the Leeds City Region – on a stand in the Riviera Hall.
The MIPIM, the annual estate agents jamboree, has been targeted by the Councils “business team” with a glossy brochure which seems to assume that Labours plan, to increase the size of the City by 25%, will get the go ahead.
A booklet extols the virtues of several development sites (click here ) while the Councils own web site lists many locations the development of which was assumed already to be fully funded (most have planning permission).
The initiative is therefore essentially cosmetic one.
The Council is keen to give the impression that it is influencing local prosperity. The reality is that, because of changes in the York economy over the last decade, it is the national financial recovery which will drive local investment.
The Council have been asked in the past to demonstrate measurable outcomes from events like these.
Apart from vague claims about new “leads” they have been unable to point to a single instance where a new investor has been found and has actually put money into York.
Hopefully opposition Councillors will quiz the Labour Leadership closely on this latest adventure.
