Another major new milestone has now been reached in the campaign for a new library to serve Rawcliffe & Clifton Without, with City of York Council unveiling plans for a new Library Learning Centre. As reported last year, the Council and Explore have been consulting on the location and facilities of a new library for our area. The consultation found 90% of residents were in favour of the move to the former Clifton Junior School on Rawcliffe Drive. The design retains the large main hall whilst demolishing the two wings of classrooms as they are in a poor condition. A new two storey extension will connect the two remaining parts.

For many years, residents have raised concerns about the poor state of some of our bus shelters locally.

City of York Council has started major road works at the junction of A19 Shipton Road / Park and Ride Access as part of the Traffic Signal Asset Renewal Programme. Works started on Monday 10th May and will last for 5 weeks.

Rawcliffe and Clifton Without councillors granted £2260 in ward committee funding to Maths Monkeys CIC, in order to offer free maths tuition to local school-age children. 

Cllr Sam Waudby was pleased to have cleared overgrowth on the pathway of Cliftonmoorgate after being contacted by residents requesting that it be cut back. The path is now double the width, so it's much safer to use and makes it easier to social distance while using the path.

This is a list of the local food businesses we know that are open and delivering in the Rawcliffe & Clifton Without area. It is accurate as of 21 April, but please bear in mind that things can change quickly.

The internet is the best source of up-to-date information. If you can, try the company’s website or social media pages or your local facebook community for information. Local media are promoting businesses with free advertising. The Council have sponsored an online directory of all the York businesses which are still operating, see it here.

If you are facing financial hardship, or if you need help and are not getting any from the council, NHS or family members, please call us 7 days a week on 01904 551550 or email [email protected]
