Things are happening on #YorkCentral from the infrastructure to the newly selected masterdevelopers. YoCo (York Central CoOwned) has also been busy. We've been developing proposals for an economic incubator and a community-led neighbourhood, with forever affordable homes.

@DorindaDorinda @CityofYork @LNER Just clarifying (though better naming would have saved the confusion) d'you mean York Central or central York...?

[Low Traffic Future @lowtrafficfut]

@AndyDAgorne Sorry Andy will get that sorted ASAP. The event is going ahead.

We’ve been out asking the shops (and pub) that are still on the corners to put up posters for the event with Christine Waddington… thanks to everyone who has put one up!

@DorindaDorinda @LNER Ah, that'll be one for @YRKcentral rather than My York Central - the public vision from the 2018 engagement was pretty far-thinking! 👍

[Rachel Wicaksono @wicaksono]

Interesting discussion this morning @YorkFestofIdeas on doing projects with, not to, communities: housing, culture, planning, design… And how ‘power with’ vs ‘power over’ might be applied in the development of @MyYorkCentral. And great to bump into @HelenSauntson too!!

[Phil Bixby @philbixby.bsky.social @PhilBixby]

Final call for this afternoon's @CommunityYoco Open Meeting - a sunny walk exploring the wilder aspects of local streets with @wildstreets_org plus an update on discussions about #YorkCentral, and what we'll be doing at @BigTentIdeas - details at https://t.co/btfhE8apLI

For simplicity @CommunityYoco was initially set up as a simple company limited by guarantee, but is now refining its constitution to ensure any benefit from its work stays with the community. Join, and come to our AGM to help shape this change! https://t.co/h92JiFU2vV

[Helen Graham @HelenGraham64]

What is fixed, where is the flex, what can be completely rethought in the York Central outline planning consent?

Come as ask York Central Partnership Project Director Ian Gray.

@demos @CommunityYoco @MyYorkCentral @my_futureyork

[My York Central @MyYorkCentral]

In 2018 Big Ideas+public vision emerged for York Central. Some of the ideas were reflected in the outline planning consent. Many were not. Over the next two months @CommunityYoco @demos will use scope for change in the outline consent to create a Community Plan for York Central.

[YoCo Community @CommunityYoco]

We’re crowdsourcing a community plan for York Central. What will make it a brilliant new part of York? Sign up: https://t.co/FAs8EuFjNn / Find out more: https://t.co/gJ2gj1c1L6

Previous @CommunityYoco @my_futureyork participants have had a head start so it's going public - a Life Sized City bonus screening & conversation, mixing Medellin with increasingly rich & focused discussion of #YorkCentral & community-led good stuff - https://t.co/5XWioGCCHf

[Phil Bixby @philbixby.bsky.social @PhilBixby]

Yorkies! Time to plan the week ahead and implement those dynamic and forward-thinking New Year's Resolutions - *helpfully* this Wednesday you can visit Copenhagen and join like-minded forward-thinkers planning a Life-Sized York Central - free booking via https://t.co/OUlfD9j5sl

[Phil Bixby @philbixby.bsky.social @PhilBixby]

Okay York people - working with @CommunityYoco & @my_futureyork we're running online events in January, screening The Life Sized City & exploring what it can teach about creating a great mixed-use neighbourhood on York Central. Info and booking links - https://t.co/OUlfD9j5sl

[myfutureyork @my_futureyork]

...and if you need a trip down Memory Lane to see what you took part in, then they're all in albums for each event we ran. Because we spent YEARS tagging them you can even pull them up by subject - just go to https://t.co/neEoehzGrD and click on the Tag you want!

[myfutureyork @my_futureyork]

It's time for some Post-It Love and reflection - show us a favourite Post-It that *you* did for @MyYorkCentral and tell us if it would be different post-Covid! They're all still there at https://t.co/51uSMniCLd

[Phil Bixby @philbixby.bsky.social @PhilBixby]

Okay people - despite the gloom, want to make a better place? York Central Co-Owned is about making community-led neighbourhoods in York's biggest new chunk of city - affordable places to live, work, learn, play. Next workshop 13th Jan - book via https://t.co/cI0o99CQ66

[My York Central @MyYorkCentral]

@DorindaDorinda @AndyDAgorne @YorkCycle @MyCastlGateway Hi there - York Central is at a *very* early stage of planning and the public vision for the site called for priority for sustainable transport. Keep in touch with @my_futureyork for community-led shaping of the development - for example https://t.co/NvyY8JBhel
