York in Danger
Unbelievable but true. You don't have to be from Yorkshire, or even from England, to know that the beautiful city of York should be immune from insensitive developers. The people of York are determined to stop the development of a shopping mall next to the internationally-renowned ancient monument of Clifford's Tower.

The City of York Council gave permission for a London-based developer, Land Securities, to build "Coppergate II" - a shopping centre on both sides if the river Foss in York.  This includes building right up to the Tower.

We just cannot accept our heritage being subsumed by a shopping centre when many shops lay empty and indigenous traders are already under pressure.

It's particularly galling as the development would be the biggest ever undertaken in the centre of York and could quite easily take place on one side of the river without interfering with the "castle" side.
