The health and safety of everyone is of paramount importance. We are committed to sharing ongoing advice and guidance related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and we are strongly advising all to follow government guidelines.
The York BID (Business Improvement District) have installed hand sanitiser units for public use across the city centre.
There are 9 large ‘tower’ units positioned in city squares and major thoroughfares, and 8 smaller units fixed to lamp posts at the city’s main entrance points. They are free to use 24 hours a day and will remain in place for as long as required according to public health advice.
Let's be York - Safe, Welcoming, Considerate
Our city has a rich history, from Viking invasions and Civil War sieges, to industrial growth and changing industries. 2020 has brought a new challenge to the forefront – unlike any other before.
Now, we must take the opportunity to build back better. We must keep infection rates low, but pioneer new approaches so residents and visitors can once again enjoy the city safely.
A number of measures have been put in place across the city region by City of York Council, Make It York and York BID to ensure it can be enjoyed safely, including:
City centre pedestrian zones have been extended, providing residents with more space to social distance, making access to shops and businesses easier.
New safety and guidance street signs/floor stickers and markings are being placed across the city centre for pedestrians.
Signage will be placed at key areas on footstreets and the highway to provide guidance on which routes are one way, where to keep left and where to social distance.
