That was the week that was in west York in photos

Bachelor Hill looking very smart including the wildflwoer meadow.

We’ve reported the damaged fence at the Cornlands park play area. The play area is due to officially reopen later this week following the health lock-down.. The fencing was provided to prevent fouling by dogs.

Another shopping trolley has made a break for freedom. This one on Tennent Road

We are still waiting for the goal posts on the Westfield park to be repainted. Been outstanding for three years now. Pitch also needs remarking before the new season starts.

Lots of weed growth as a result of the weather this week. Particular problems in Chapelfields and on Askham Lane.

Weeds overgrowing the bus shelter on Foxwood Lane again. The Council owned shelter is now looking very shabby now.

Damaged utility marker sign on Grange Lane is still lying on the verge despite being reported in January.

More snickets now obstructed by overhanging trees.

Now goal posts disappear from Westfield

A set of goal posts have disappeared from the playing field to the rear of Westfield Place.

Only one set of goal posts on Westfield park

The removal follows a series of actions by the York Council which has seen sports facilities eroded in what is York’s poorest neighbourhood. The sports field at Lowfields has been built on, the multi user games area closed and a (private) bowling green sold for housing.

No consultation took place before the set of goalpost were removed.

One set remains. The ward committee had been expected to arrange for the posts to be repainted, and the pitch remarked, before the start of the football season.
