November 2009 Archives

Over the past year I have identified areas where improvements could be made been and more importantly I have been able to obtain a number of improvements to the ward.

Through the Ward Committee Acaster Malbis received a grant to enable a seat to be constructed in the Mount Pleasant Bus Shelter, along with a new litter bin and for repairs to the Pinfold

With the help of York Pride the planters at the bottom of Sim Balk Lane should be a feature of that area for the next two years, along with two planters outside the shops in Acaster Lane.

Similarly with the help of York Pride we now have a new seat at the junction of Acaster Lane and Main Street on this greatly improved small corner of Bishopthorpe.

I am always looking for ways to improve the Ward, if you have any suggestions please let me know, but please remember I don't have a magic wand!!

Even though I currently hold the position of Lord Mayor of York I spend time in the ward and I keep up with matters that affect us all.

Since becoming Lord Mayor I have visited Brunswick Nursery on three occasions as Lord Mayor which has helped to lift the profile of Brunswick and of course the nursery is one of my two charities.

I have also visited the two schools in Bishopthorpe and I have had the pleasure of visiting Bishopthorpe Palace on two occasions.
