Two temporary metal gates have been installed on the section of wall from Lendal Bridge to War Memorial, Station Rise.

One gate is adjacent to the benches on the wall-walk at the Lendal Bridge end on the City Wall; the other is at the bottom of the steps that give access to the City Wall from the road arch adjacent to the War Memorial.

The Council needed to restrict access to this section of wall when it closes the rest of the city walls due to ice and snow. There had been a couple of accidents during the recent icy weather.

In January work will commence the installation of railings along this section of wall. Access will be restricted during this installation work. Once the new railings are in place the temporary gates will be removed.
