Alness Drive footpath resurfacing work announced

We are pleased to report that work will shortly get underway to resurface footpaths on Alness Drive and on Deveron Way. The sections of path to be resurfaced are marked on the map below. The area of block paving on Deveron Way is to be replaced with tarmac.

Letters are being delivered to residents, with a request that any vegetation overhanging the footpath is cut back. The work is due to get underway from 30 October and is expected to take eight weeks.


Dringhouses & Woodthorpe Ward Directory hits the streets

A Ward Directory for Dringhouses & Woodthorpe has been produced and will be delivered to every home in the ward.

The printing and distribution of the eight-page booklet is being funded through Ward Committee funds. It is intended to be a brief guide to activities in the ward, local groups from nature to musical and everything in between.

The Directory is available in PDF format on the Ward page of the City of York Council website online Here, and updated and expanded editions of the Directory will be published here in due course.

Cycle parking boost

Some progress has been made to address the lack of cycle parking provision on Tadcaster Road, with the installation of a cycle hoop outside the shops at the junction with Slingsby Grove.

There remains no cycle parking outside the Post Office. With a new café set to open up next door, the need for some cycle parking here is even greater. We will press the case for some investment here.

Café culture comes to Tadcaster Road

A new café is set to open on Tadcaster Road on Thursday 5 October.

Café at Number 12 is located next to the Post Office, in the premises most recently occupied by the Booboracum shop.

There is also a change of management at the popular Love to Eat café on Moor Lane. The café re-opens on Tuesday 3 October when Fiona takes over from Louise.


We wish both cafés a successful future!
