Melbourne Street - photo from Google Maps. A POPULAR rat run in York is to be closed for more than three weeks. Melbourne Street, which links Cemetery Road with Fulford Road, Fishergate, is to be closed from May 24 to June 18 for footpath and resurfacing works to be carried out. A diversion will be in place, with the route clearly marked for traffic. Here are the other main road closures for York taking place from this week:

The right turn into the Park&Ride from Shipton Road will be shut while works take place, as will the left turn out of the Park&Ride on to Shipton Road. Diversion routes for cyclists and pedestrians will be signposted and bus services are not likely to be affected.
York Magistrates Court A RECOVERING alcoholic has won a judge’s praise for the way she has fought her addiction and saved herself from jail. District judge Adrian Lower gave Caroline Diane Moynihan three months to reform herself when she pleaded guilty to spitting at a police officer and at a tiny child. He deferred sentence and promised her she would not be jailed if she tackled her drinking. When she returned to court, her solicitor Chris McGrogan described how she had completed the first three parts of a detoxification programme, was now attending five Zoom sessions a week for Narcotics Anonymous which helps those addicted to drink as well as drugs and was also working with a domestic and sexual abuse charity to tackle underlying issues in her life.
