News of the Castle Area Campaign What can I do to stop Shoppergate? Alternative ideas for Coppergate Missing City of York Council report Petition against Coppergate II Yorkshire celebrities' comments |
Views could be lostCitizens of York, as well as the millions of tourists who come to visit our city each year, marvel at the fabulous ancient architecture - The Minster, York City Walls, and Clifford's Tower. Yet the City Council seems only concerned with how many shops can be crammed in and around our heritage, regardless of whether these shops can be filled. While we all need shops, we need more to protect and preserve what is special about York. That's why people come here after all ! Shown here are two York city views of Clifford's Tower which would be lost forever if the Coppergate II development was allowed to go ahead. Our cityscapes are important. We should not permit our heritage to be subsumed by cheap and tawdry shopping malls. Download the entire leaflet on the Lost Views as a PDF file here (size 800k).
