Filming Stars
Not us of course. A scene for an upcoming new TV Crime Drama was filmed in our street in April. For such a short scene there was a lot of gear and activity. Watch out for it on Channel 5 – it’s called Patience – the story of an archivist who unearths cold cases for reinvestigation.
Street Parties
Staging the two parties this year has been quite exhausting; we’re hoping for younger residents to take up some of the graft. The summer party was wet and the one in October was dry. Lots of fun though and useful for new people to meet their neighbours.
Air Quality Action Group
The main road at the end of our street is the most polluted in York with the worst air quality, possibly, in Yorkshire. So an action group has formed to meet the council officers and councillors to force something to be done. The traffic light solution is marginal but once they have proved it improves the air quality other action may be taken using the data collected in the trial. Barrie has been volunteering to collect traffic data in preparation for the trial.
