A safe city centre which is welcoming and accessible to all
After listening to your views as a vital part of the Our City Centre York project (previously named the My City Centre project), the Our City Centre York vision has now been approved.
York city centre is home to around 8,000 people.
As sustainable city living continues to be supported and to grow, we must ensure that these residents have the resources and facilities to live happy successful lives.
We must also 'invest in place' to ensure that the city centre is a safe, welcoming, and accessible space for all - to ensure its continued vibrancy.
