Footpath repairs start on Foxwood Lane on 26th February

Some parking restrictions  expected

The City of York Council will start work week commencing 26th February 2018 to reconstruct the footway shown on the plan below.  This scheme is programmed to take 2 weeks, weather permitting.

The work consists of excavating the current tarmac surfacing, laying two new layers of tarmac and reconstructing tactile crossing points where required.  Parking will be suspended during working hours.

Good progress as hedges cut and potholes filled

The Council has finally got round to removing the self seeded bushes which blocked sight lines from the bus shelter on Askham Lane. The bushes had grown to the point where the footpath was being impeded in summer. Now the original hedge around the field should be able to reassert itself.
