Doherty Walk area to be protected
The York Council has said that it will begin to install matrix surfacing on the grassed area on Doherty Walk on Monday 7th Dec).
This is very prompt as the decision to go ahead with the scheme – which will see the area protected and therefore available for parking throughout the whole of the year – was only taken last week.
Residents are being asked not to park in the area until the work is competed in about 2 weeks time (subject to weather)
The funding for the project is coming form estate improvement budgets which are funded from Council tenants rent payments.
The North Yorkshire Police Lifestyle Awards Ceremony took place at York Racecourse on Thursday 19 November. The event rewards those who took part in a competition over the summer holidays which encouraged groups of young people to carry out projects that improve their communities.
Now in its third year, one of the aims behind the Lifestyle Challenge is to give young people a voice in their community and the opportunity to make positive changes. Since 2013 it has seen hundreds of youngsters aged between 10 and 17 take part, with hundreds of hours of work put in to projects as varied as cleaning beaches, clearing the gardens of elderly or housebound residents, organising family fun days, bake sales, sports days and launching anti-crime initiatives.

Offenders broke in to St Stephens Church, York Road, Acomb, sometime between 4.30pm on Saturday 28 November and 7.30am on Sunday 29 November.
Power tools were used to attack three safes. However, the offenders were not able to break in to them, and nothing was taken apart from a small amount of loose change from charity collections.
In any event, the safes contained only paperwork, and nothing of value.
Anyone who saw anything suspicious, or has any information about the burglary, is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police.
