A development site that has been derelict for many years may now be developed as a new car dealership.

Planning permission has now been sought for the construction of a 1863 square metre car dealership building with ancillary servicing and valeting functions and external car parking.

The site is next to the East Coast railway line and the application will be considered by the York Planning committee on Thursday.

There have been problems on this industrial estate with inadequate car parking arrangement leading to safety issues.

More recently traveller caravans have appeared on an area near Great North Way & Rose Avenue

Clothes recycling unit set to be axed at Poppleton garden centre

Meanwhile an application to regularise the use of a portable unit, which is currently used to collect clothing for recycling, is being opposed by York Council officials. The unit is located in the car park of the Wyevale Garden Centre at Poppleton. Details of the application and the officers recommendations can be found by clicking here. The unit is being opposed on the ground that it is in the “Green Belt”.

NB. The Council, recently built a park and ride facility on adjacent green field  land (which is much bigger and deeper into the Green Belt)

York Explore Library : Mon 9 May : 2.30pm – 3.30pm : £4 includes refreshments

May 9_Kathleen HarrymanThe Other Side of the Looking Glass by Kathleen Harryman is a suspenseful thriller that you won’t be able to put down.

A beautiful lady wakes up in hospital with no memory of who she is or anything about her life. Her life is a blank. Liam is there when she wakes up and says she is his wife, Kate. He is attractive, well dressed and obviously very wealthy. However, something makes her distrust him. Why are his eyes so cold? And why doesn’t she remember him? As Kate is taken home to her luxury mansion and discovers what her life is like with the controlling Liam, she finds her ordeal is only just beginning. Then her memory starts to come back and the truth emerges… This is a truly exciting tale of subterfuge, mystery, mistaken identity and true love.

Kathleen Harryman lives in York, with her husband and two daughters, and family dog and cat.

After attending writing groups, Kathleen was inspired to write her own book based around the city where she lives. Stories run through Kathleen’s head whilst out walking the family dog. The miles disappear and are replaced with stories that are then brought to life in print. Writing is a natural part of Kathleen, and she enjoys watching the characters come to life.
