It’s initiatives like this that create extra interest in our city and keep people returning year after year” Zoe Plummer, Ambiente Tapas “The BID Street Rangers deter anti-social behaviour and directly discourage key offenders. They take a proactive stance to deflect potential incidents and work with agencies and levy-payers to resolve issues around begging, rough sleeping and vulnerable people.” PC Nick Plumb, North Yorkshire Police Safe & Secure The York Greeters were introduced during the height of the summer season and provided assistance and directions to visitors and residents about where to go and what to see. When the summer concluded, the BID Street Rangers hit the ground running. Our ‘crew in blue’ have become a familiar presence in the city centre, helping the public find their way around York and contributing to the efforts towards deterring anti-social behaviour during the day and evenings. They engage with BID businesses making daily routine visits and log areas in the BID area that require improvement and attention.

Appearance & Environment In November the BID launched its enhanced street cleansing programme which immediately delivered noticeable results. The team has cleaned nearly 22,000 square metres of the city centre which includes areas that have required deep cleaning, power-washing, grime-busting and gum and graffiti removal. As an ongoing programme that will run throughout the BID’s duration, the street cleansing teams began operations on streets with the highest footfall traffic and are making their way throughout the city centre. In addition to the routine cleansing, a rapid response service is on offer to all BID businesses seven days a week. Businesses can call the rapid response hotline to report areas requiring attention and crews are on call to power wash shopfronts and entryways outside of routine clean up times.

  • The Walls but on the Rampart Underneath and the Ditch Surrounding Them
    A walk through 1,900 years of history The Bar Walls of York are the finest and most complete of any town in England. There are five main “bars” (big gateways), one postern (a small gateway) one Victorian gateway, and 45 towers. At two miles (3.4 kilometres), they are also the longest town walls in the country. Allow two hours to walk around the entire circuit. In medieval times the defence of the city relied not just on the walls but on the rampart underneath and the ditch surrounding them. The ditch, which has been filled in almost everywhere, was once 60 feet (18.3m) wide and 10 feet (3m) deep! The Walls are generally 13 feet (4m) high and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The rampart on which they stand is up to 30 feet high (9m) and 100 feet (30m) wide and conceals the earlier defences built by Romans, Vikings and Normans. The Roman defences The Normans In AD71 the Roman 9th Legion arrived at the strategic spot where It took William The Conqueror two years to move north after his the rivers Ouse and Foss met. They quickly set about building a victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

However, when William marched north to quell the potential for rebellion his advance caused such alarm that he entered the city The first defences were simple: a ditch, an embankment made of unopposed.

  • Creating the Slum: Representations of Poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate Districts of York, 1875-1914
    Laura Harrison Ex Historia 61 Laura Harrison1 University of Leeds Creating the slum: representations of poverty in the Hungate and Walmgate districts of York, 1875-1914 In his first social survey of York, B. Seebohm Rowntree described the Walmgate and Hungate areas as ‘the largest poor district in the city’ comprising ‘some typical slum areas’.2 The York Medical Officer of Health condemned the small and fetid yards and alleyways that branched off the main Walmgate thoroughfare in his 1914 report, noting that ‘there are no amenities; it is an absolute slum’.3 Newspapers regularly denounced the behaviour of the area’s residents; reporting on notorious individuals and particular neighbourhoods, and in an 1892 report to the Watch Committee the Chief Constable put the case for more police officers on the account of Walmgate becoming increasingly ‘difficult to manage’.4 James Cave recalled when he was a child the police would only enter Hungate ‘in twos and threes’.5 The Hungate and Walmgate districts were the focus of social surveys and reports, they featured in complaints by sanitary inspectors and the police, and residents were prominent in court and newspaper reports. The area was repeatedly characterised as a slum, and its inhabitants as existing on the edge of acceptable living conditions and behaviour. Condemned as sanitary abominations, observers made explicit connections between the physical condition of these spaces and the moral behaviour of their 1 Laura ([email protected]) is a doctoral candidate at the University of Leeds, and recently submitted her thesis ‘Negotiating the meanings of space: leisure, courtship and the young working class of York, c.1880-1920’.

  • Newgate Market Review Report of the Economic & City Development Overview & Scrutiny Committee

The investigations by the Committee served to reinforce this view. One matter that needed to be dispelled right from the start was the idea that the market was making a loss. It is not—it makes a profit and a valuable contribution to income generation to the City of York Council. The Committee started with a clean sheet to allow all ideas and proposals to be heard and considered. They decided that the current location of Newgate Market was the right one, although action needed to be taken to make access points easier, more visible and more desirable.
