Our City Centre York - What you've told us so far

We've listened to residents, businesses and stakeholders, who, like us, care deeply about York. You have helped us to design a vision which will create a city centre that you want to use and spend time in.

A lot has changed since we started work related to Our City Centre York (previously named My City Centre York) in March 2020, but a desire to make our city centre an even more special place remains.

By listening and engaging with you:

  • we've heard lots of amazing views, ideas and suggestions about what you want the city centre to look like in the future
  • your feedback has helped us to build a vision for the city centre
  • the vision (once approved) will guide investment, and shape development and improvement projects in York city centre for decades to come

The vision is for:

A vibrant, environmentally sustainable city centre, where a wide range of people want to spend time, live and work. A place where business thrives, sustainable communities grow, and a varied cultural and social life flourishes

Your feedback

Your feedback has been integral to the vision. We’ve been listening to you as residents, businesses, stakeholders and visitors about what you want from the city centre and what you would change.
