York City officials eye surveillance network to combat crime
York Dispatch
Widespread video surveillance could be York City s next strategy to fight crime, Police Commissioner Michael Muldrow said Monday.
Muldrow said local private organizations are interested in raising funds for a surveillance network similar to one already in place throughout Lancaster City. Those groups would secure the funding for the camera network, Muldrow said, and an independent organization would oversee it. I think that it will quickly become an invaluable tool, that if we would be able to pull it off in York, would dramatically impact our communities quickly, Muldrow said.

York s new Community Stadium complex is to host Covid testing RAPID Covid testing is to be launched at York s new community stadium leisure centre. City of York Council said residents will be able to get symptom-free testing at the leisure complex at Monks Cross from next Monday, following an agreement between the authority and Better York. Paul Bickle, Better’s partnership manager for York, said the stadium leisure centre provided an ideal location for Covid-19 testing, offering easy access, plenty of parking and sufficient space to ensure social distancing at all times. The concept behind the stadium project was always that it would be a resource for all the community and it is fantastic to be able to play a small part in the city’s efforts to battle the ongoing pandemic, he said.
