Project reaches landmark stage
Last year the Millennium Trust announced a design competition for ideas to improve the village centre.
Entries were received in January, and were put on display for comment by invited volunteers, stakeholders, parish councillors and others on 5th February. They were then reviewed by a Panel chaired by Bishopthorpe Resident Sir Donald Barron. This Panel was composed entirely of people who had said that they were prepared to volunteer effort towards the project – some 24 of these volunteered during consultations (in addition to those already at work on it).
Its members were Kate Hardy, Ben Wallace, Frederick Weatherley, June
Whittaker, June Cross, and Louise Bishop. Final member Andrew Lister was unfortunately unable to attend on the day.
Its recommendations were received by the Trust, and in the light of these, the Trust has agreed to allocate prizes as follows:
£500 to each entrant:
Rachel Brammar of Popplewell Associates, Piccadilly, York;
David Chapman of David Chapman Associates, Sim Balk Lane, Bishopthorpe; and Moray Mackay from St Mary’s, Bootham, York.
Each entry had ideas that the panel considered worth further investigation and design work. A composite design is in preparation and will be on display in the Library.
