CHRISTIANS are renewing their bid to have a street named in honour of the martyr St Margaret Clitherow in her own city.

They are urging worshippers at Catholic and Anglican churches to sign a petition.

They hope to present the list of signatures to the new Lord Mayor, Coun Keith Hyman, when he takes up office in May.

Most Catholic churches in York have a copy of the petition, as does the parochial church council of St Martin Le Grand in Coney Street.
