City of York Council will be applying for the Creative Employment Programme funding in August on behalf on a consortium of creative and cultural organisations in York and the surrounding area.

The victim, a 33-year-old man from Scotland, sustained a broken nose and a fractured cheekbone when he was attacked on North Street at around 11.35pm on Saturday 12 July 2014.
With the Tour de France now relegated to one of the more obscure ITV channels, the Councils leadership were asked last week precisely what targets they had for the “heritage” programme?
They had no numbers to share.
Still the chances are that some additional tourists will find their way to York over the next 12 months.
What impression will they get?
There has always been some criticism of he view from the railway carriage window on the East Coast main line approach to the City. Weeds, weed and more weeds is the usual vista.
But what of the dedicated cyclist making their way up the Selby to York cycle track?
The closer to York you get, the worse is the neglect, the litter and the graffiti.
Obscene graffiti dominates the A64 underpass while the Tadcaster Road junction is rarely graffiti free.
Warning obscene graffiti
At the Tesco roundabout the cycle path is now blocked by overhanging bushes.
The – St Johns University sponsored – roundabout itself is weed infested and a poor advert for a City dependent on visitors to sustain its economy
Cycle lane blocked
Weeds take over Tadcaster Road roundabout.

Information from Mouseprice
Their aim will be to complete the renovation of the Foxwood Park and regenerate the area to the rear of the Foxwood Community Centre.
Community centre playground
Currently a door to door survey is being conducted aimed at finding out residents priorities for the area. In particular residents are being asked whether a small part of the Foxwood Park should become a dog walking area (with dogs banned from the rest of the park).
There is also a suggestion that the, little used, playground to the rear of the community centre should be converted into a garden and/or allotments. The playground has to be maintained by volunteers and is currently only open when an event is taking place at the Centre.
The Centre itself is under some financial pressure because of Council cuts but is confident that the “make over” will help to encourage more volunteers to support the facilities
Details of the Centres activities can be found by clicking here
#Attention Tue 22nd July – 2 way lights on Naburn Lane at the old railway bridge 09:30-15:30 during Maintenance work.
