Debate has been raging this week about whether the government should delay lifting Covid restrictions completely on June 21 as planned, amid worries that we may be seeing the start of a ‘third wave’ of infections. The latest data show that there were 4,330 new cases of Covid in the UK recorded on June 2 - and 25,240 new cases in the week up to then.That was a rise of almost 35 per cent on the week before.

Angus McArthur, who owns York Ghost Merchants on Shambles with partner David Bloodworth, says what the city needs is more independent small businesses making unique, hand-made products. Ideally, each business would have a shop down below - and a small workshop above making goods for sale.

YORK city centre at 3pm on Wednesday afternoon was an odd mix of busy and quiet; like a sleeping giant just beginning to awaken from a long slumber A few ‘essential’ shops - shops like Boots and Barnitts - were open. And outside Stam and Maria’s cafe on the corner of Parliament Street and Shambles market, a polite, socially distanced queue had formed for takeaway coffee. But the crowds were thin, and the people who had been drawn to the city centre were wandering around in a lost, aimless sort of way - the way people do in a normally busy city centre where most things are closed. ....
