York railway station transformation secures funding [BBC News]





Date: 14/03/2020

Funding of £14.5m has been secured to transform the area in front of York's railway station.
The proposals would see the demolition of the Queen Street Bridge and the relocation of a short stay car park and taxi rank.
Councillors say the scheme would create a fitting gateway to the city as part of a major development scheme.
The money comes following a successful bid by the Leeds City Region to the government's Transforming Cities Fund.
