Crowds are expected to return to the city centre as York gets a ‘Covid bounce’
YORK is expecting to see a “Covid bounce” with more people visiting the city than usual this summer - and residents are being warned it could come as a shock . Council chiefs say their focus will be on keeping people safe by creating more outdoor seating areas, launching traders’ squares throughout the city which will be managed by nearby businesses and putting in extra toilets and bins. “The challenge will be managing the amount of people who want to come to the city,” said Neil Ferris, director of place at City of York Council. “It’s going to be a shock to get back to normal levels of people. If we do have a Covid bounce, that will feel like even more of a change for residents.”
By Nicola Fifield A SIGNIFICANT new lead has emerged in the search for missing chef Claudia Lawrence, as her father and friends gathered in York city centre to mark the eve of her 36th birthday. Detective Superintendent Ray Galloway, who is leading the suspected murder investigation, said a member of the public had phoned in response to yesterday’s night’s Crimewatch appeal with information about a “specific location”. Speaking today in St Sampson’s Square, York, where hundreds of balloons were released into the sky, Det Supt Galloway said he could not give further details due to operational reasons, but stressed that he had taken the call personally and believed the information was “credible”.
