This section of the website is new and shortly we will be showing you all the alternatives proposed for the land adjacent to Clifford's Tower.

If you are involved in proposing one of these options, please contact us and we would be happy to create an additional page to this site showing your proposal. You can email us at info@cliffordstower.com

There are currently five alternatives for the land:

1. The Coppergate Riverside Development. Propsed by property development company, Land Securities. This appears to be the least popular alternative, according to surveys, and would encroach onto Clifford's
Tower and is being actively campaigned against.

2. Only slightly more popular is leaving the area as it is - a rather unsightly car park.

3. An Italian-style piazza has also been proposed, although many people do not understand the reasoning behind this in a traditional Yorkshire setting with its own rich history.

4. Acceptable to most parties and campaigners, the Castle Quarter provides some small shops and cafes, whilst retaining an area near the tower as a park.

5. The fifth alternative is for the entire area to be converted into a park. York Tomorrow's intention for the site as a green municipal space.
