Bid to give more protection to pubs, shops, woods etc.

The York Council is to consider several requests to have local amenities added to the list of  “assets of community value”

The applications concern;

  • The Wenlock Arms Public House,

    Jubilee pub

    Jubilee Hotel

  • White Rose House,
  • Costcutter Shop, Wheldrake,
  • Wheldrake Woods.
  • The Minster Inn Public House (Guildhall) &
  • The Jubilee Hotel (Holgate)

If added to the list, the designation would mean that the local community would have an opportunity to raise the necessary funding to purchase, should the assets come onto the open market.

A decision on the listing is expected to be made on 11th July
