THERE has been many a consultation in York on what should be done with this or that part of the city’s heritage.

The York: Living with History Inquiry is different, however. It is not led by the city council, for a start: but by academics in collaboration with the York Civic Trust and York’s Alternative History.

The aim is to find ways of improving decision-making – and to encourage public involvement. Researchers also want to hear from ordinary people.

In today’s newspaper, we explain how you can make your views known, so if you love York, please get involved.
