  • Newgate Market Review Report of the Economic & City Development Overview & Scrutiny Committee
    December 2010 Newgate Market Review Report of the Economic & City Development Overview & Scrutiny Committee AD-HOC SCRUTINY COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP The Economic & City Development Overview & Scrutiny Committee undertook this review and the following Members were involved: • Councillor Scott (Chair) • Councillor Hudson (Vice-Chair) • Councillors Alexander, D’Agorne, Holvey, Hyman, Kirk and Potter • Councillor Taylor (Substitute) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION Please contact:: Tracy Wallis Scrutiny Officer Scrutiny Services Tel: 01904 551714 Email: [email protected] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Committee would like to thank the following for their contribution to this review: • Roger Ranson, Assistant Director Economy & Asset Management • Bryn Jones, Head of Economic Development • Paul Barrett, City Centre Manager • Darren Lovatt, Senior Markets Officer • Guy Hanson, Senior Regeneration Architect • Wendy Taylor, City Development Officer • Andy Ward, Markets Manager at Sheffield City Council & member of the National Association of British Market Authorities Consultation Team • Jim Shanks & Michael Frith—North Yorkshire Police CHAIR’S FOREWARD There was never any doubt in the minds of the Economic & City Development Overview & Scrutiny Committee that Newgate Market is an important part of the City of York. 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.

  • Holy Trinity Priory
    INNACCESSIBLE YORK – MICKLEGATE AREA & GEORGIAN YORK A tour of some of the least known parts of York across the River Ouse, including some rarely open Mediaeval churches and Houses, and some stunning Georgian interiors. MICKLEGATE HOUSE-now Backpackers Hostel This is one of the finest Georgian town houses in York, as grand as Fairfax House in its day. It was built by 1752 by the architect John Carr for John and Mildred Bourchier of Beningbrough Hall; their initials, crest and the date are to be seen on the drainpipes. They along with other members of the Gentry and Aristocracy would come to York for entertainments-Horse Racing, the Theatre and the Law Courts- which would result in a few public hangings! The condemned criminals would pass along Micklegate on their way to be hung on the Knavesmire, sat on their own coffin and wearing a shroud. The most famous to pass this way was Dick Turpin in 1739. The house is a rebuild of any earlier house or houses, as the internal layout is odd; at the back the north wing goes further back than the south; the right hand servants’ door may have been the front door of one of the two houses amalgamated to form this one; and the cellar has re-used (ships?) timbers and 16th or 17th C brickwork in what is now the Cellar Bar. The staircase is very fine with superb carved balusters and a plaster ceiling by the Italian artist Cortese, who did the ceilings at Fairfax House. It includes busts of Newton and Shakespeare.

  • Briefing Note
    Briefing Note Brief: An overview of York Business Improvement District activities Date: 4th May 2018 Author: Andrew Lowson, Executive Director, The York BID started in April 2016, which means it is now just over two years into its first five year term. The BID has a small team of three staff that work on the various initiatives under the four general headings of Safe & Secure; Appearance & Environment; Business Support; and Events and Festivals. The below headings provide an overview of the projects and initiatives the BID is undertaking in the city. Street Rangers The York BID Street Rangers have twice achieved national recognition for their pioneering approach. Over the festive period, the Rangers became the first private security team in the UK to gain the Secretary of State’s surveillance camera code of practice regarding their transparent use of bodycams. These are worn by the Street Rangers and have led to numerous arrests due to the evidence that can be passed to police. Not long afterwards, the Rangers were contacted by Sky News to be part of their news story about proposed changes to the anti-social behaviour laws. In the report the work of the Rangers was highlighted as an innovative and successful approach to tackling ASB on the streets. In 2018, the Rangers have already recovered over £10,000 in stolen stock. Street Cleansing The York BID cleaning teams have worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to keep our beautiful city as clean as possible. Their deep cleaning sessions and swift response to calls from local businesses have helped to keep York's streets looking their best.
