A couple of months ago we reported that public service standards in the City had declined.

One particular problem was weed growth – with Ouse Bridge badly affected.

The weeds were not only a potential threat to the integrity of the bridge but were an eyesore in a particularly sensitive area.

So it is disappointing to find that two months later no action has been taken to address the issue.

 

 

 

Sports event for visually impaired and blind people

York’s first sports event for visually-impaired or blind residents organised by City of York Council as part of its Celebrating Ability Week is taking place on Sunday 10 August at Joseph Rowntree School, Haxby Road, York.

The event is the first of its kind and has been organised by the council in conjunction with the Wilberforce Trust, the York Blind and Partially Sighted Society and British Blind Sport as part of Celebrating Ability Week (4 to 10 August).

The afternoon of sports and games gives residents a chance to try different activities adapted for visual impairment and to find out more about continuing the sports on a regular basis across the city.
