To whoever the kind person is who has anonymously donated tools and a wheelbarrow to the community allotment: Thank you!
Huge thanks to Sisk and their associates for rebuilding our community allotment yorkpress.co.uk/news/2534932…
New Communal Allotment - join in!
With wonderful help from Sisk, we have relocated our communal allotment to Salisbury Road (beside the vets). The idea is simple, we get together to grow fruit, veg and herbs that anyone is welcome to help themselves to.

We have smartened up the tree bases along Garfield Terrace and Livingstone Street. Underneath we’ve put bulbs, cyclamen and sown seeds, so it should look good next Spring. We’d love to do more streets. Get in touch if you want to join us! LeemanPark.uk/join-us
Thanks to @GoodGymYork, the soil has been spread out from the Back Park raised beds (what was the community allotment). Lots of people have suggested seeding pollinator friendly, native wildflowers in the bare patches left. What do local people think? Or just back to grass?

Big thanks to the group of volunteers who spent today litter picking around Leeman Park and our neighbourhood. They didn’t want a photo or naming to give credit for their effort, but I’ll just say they came from a nearby large insurance company 😉. Thanks!

Thanks Clare + Dan for a fab launch event. I look forward to using this data with you and residents to push for improvements to air quality.
Everyone deserves to breathe clean air

After YEARS of lobbying and campaigning, the horrible, inaccessible cycle barrier on Jubilee Terrace/ riverside path has finally been replaced!
It isn't exactly as we requested, but it's a vaste improvement on the previous monstrosity.
More improvements to the path to come soon.

Hi! Welcome to museums/York! Hopefully you might be able to champion the importance of local communities to museums, even national ones. @RailwayMuseum has entirely disregarded its community, and repeatedly ignored their needs. #MuseumsChangeLives isn't usually for the worse.
