Due to severe wind today and safety concerns, 9 January, City of York Council has made the decision to close Shambles Market in Parliament Street.

Recycling and refuse collections are taking place in York today as normal. The high winds mean that although the collection crews are doing their best, there will inevitably be wind blown debris.

The council have redeployed street cleansing and grounds maintenance staff to assist in the clear up operation, they will be doing their best to clear windblown items in the areas affected.

Updates on any closures and affected services will be uploaded on to http://www.york.gov.uk/throughout the day.
