CALLS will be made tonight for a new shopping proposal in the centre of York to include a civic park next to Clifford’s Tower.
LaSalle UK Ventures Fund and its development manager Centros are looking at building a retail scheme near the historic landmark, although the firms say recent approval for new superstores at Monks Cross has “compromised” their plans.
Fishergate councillor Dave Taylor, will tonight ask City of York Council leader James Alexander to guarantee any scheme would include a public park where Castle car park stands. He will also use a full council meeting to seek assurances that the authority will not “hand over” the area’s two car parks to developers.
