We are pleased to advertise the very popular and much anticipated annual carols and live music event on Bayldon Square. This has been a wonderful festive feature since the early stages of the development, and is free and open to all residents and their guests.

As you can see from the advert below, not only is it a fun event but it also aims to provide support and aid to Carecent, a local charity. The group organising the event (the Coronation Committee) is also planning something celebratory for the Coronation in 2023 (republicans and non-monarchists will be welcome)!

Carols & live music

Balydon Square – Sunday 18th December – 6pm

With Music from local musician Anthony Thompson Starting off with some well-known Carols and finishing off with some festive classics.

After our generosity last year for the Carecent Homeless charity, we thought we would support this charity again this year.

The charity understands this is an extremely tough year for donations, but if anyone can donate any of the following items, they would be massively grateful:
Tea, Coffee, Tinned meat products, Socks, Gloves, Men’s underwear, Trainers, Practical Coats.

Mulled Wine and Nibbles will be available – for these items we will be asking for donations. Remember – dress up warm, and bring your own mug.

Let’s make this a Carol Concert to remember. Any questions please contact the Coronation Committee on 07931 179181

In slightly less celebratory news, but while we have your attention, you may wish to look at the following two planning applications –

  • 22/02319/FUL – variations to the planning application for the Co-op which include changes to louvres and Amazon lockers but also asks for the Co-op to be open until 11pm (it is currently open until 10pm).
  • 22/02410/LBC – louvres to the north side (Orange House and Clock Tower Way side) of the liquor store, which may or may not, pose a noise nuisance.

If you feel that these applications may affect you and wish to comment, go to https://planningaccess.york.gov.uk/online-applications/ and input the above planning reference.
