Proposed sub station site
A planning application has just been received by the York Council which would see a sub station built on land next to garages on Ascot Way.
It is causing concern as it would mean that the adjacent rear entrance to Hob Moor school could become very narrow and dark.
There are safety issues that will have to be addressed if this does go ahead (it is required to service the nearby disabled children’s centre project)
The application can be viewed by clicking here
Weeds growing through footpath on Windsor Garth near Sandown Close. We’ve reported the problem but it seems to be another area that has been missed off this years treatment programme
Time of year gullies need to eb checked fro blockages. We’ve asked for those on the little Green Lane footpath to be cleared of leaves
We’ve asked for the Gale Lane/Holgate beck to be cleared of detritus and undergrowth before the winter
UFO are behind schedule in reinstating concrete drives on Stuart Road
Verge and path on Foxwood lane still showing signs of damage following broadband excavations near 12 months ago
One bonus has been the renewal of the flagstones at the Hamilton Drive West bus stop. We asked for these to be done on safety grounds last year
New litter bins have been rolled out to several streets including this one on Kingsway West
We’ve asked for the garage area off Windsor Garth to be tidied up.
On the 1st October 2018 between the hours of 2pm and 3pm a property in Lowfields Drive was entered and items of copper were stolen by a unknown offender(s)
If you witnessed anything suspicious that would assist the police with their enquiries please call 101 stating the following incident number – 12180184144.
Autumn colours coming to the trees on Acomb Green
The path across The Green needs to be edged this winter.
Weeds make the steps down to The Green more hazardous than they should be

NB. This may prove to be more controversial than expected as the application – together with one already submitted for the adjacent Windsor House site – would see more of the playing field (including the kick about area) lost than was anticipated.
