The council
commissioned the economic, environmental and social value analysis
with information on each project provided where possible from
partners or officers, providing an evidence base for
analysis.
The analysis was conducted independently of the council and
partners and has been developed from a series of published
assumptions and a supporting evidence base.
Where any data and information gaps were identified, Sewells used
evidence-based assumptions drawn from comparable initiatives across
England.
Feedback from city partners and relevant policy officers specific
to particular projects was sought as part of the drafting
process.
Officers at City of York Council and representatives of partner

York’s
Creative Futures: the cultural strategy 2020-2025 was developed
following an extensive engagement and consultation exercise with
York’s residents, cultural organisations, artists and
practitioners. It took on board what matters most to the people who
live, work and study in the city. Following this, in 2019 the
council’s Executive adopted a vision and principles, on
behalf of the city, as the basis on which to take the strategy
forward.
York Cultural Strategy is based on a refresh of the previous
strategy and was developed in collaboration with arts, culture and
heritage organisations across the city.

authority to Director of Director of Environmental and Regulatory
Services, in consultation with the Director of Governance, to
approve with or without modifications the making of the final SCA
Order and the making of any orders to revoke existing Smoke Control
orders made on or after 13 November 1980.

|
|
Description:
|
Purpose of Report: Following the serving of a
temporary Anti-Terrorism Traffic Regulation Order (ATTRO) by North
Yorkshire Police (NYP) in Autumn of 2025, to cover the period of
the Christmas Market 13th November to 21st December, reports were
taken to October and November 2025 Executive, establishing details
supporting implementation and operation of the ATTRO.
The November Executive meeting recommendation agreed Executive was:
‘to receive a future report early in 2026 reviewing the
strategic case for, and ongoing delivery arrangements associated
with, the Christmas Market and other significant footfall city
centre events’. The March Executive report will set out this
detail.
It will also cover details around the implications of a permanent
ATTRO, which has emerged as a crucial consideration in the planning
of all city centre events (and if approved, could be implemented at
any point year-round).
The Executive will be asked to:
i.
Consider the strategic case for, and
ongoing delivery arrangements associated with, the Christmas Market
and other significant footfall city centre events.
ii.
Agree a council position in relation
to city centre events and the future operation of an ATTRO, giving
particular regard to ensuring access for all residents and
visitors
iii. Consider as necessary any associated delivery
arrangements, to include but not be limited to operational
protocols, partnership working approaches and any funding of
capital and revenue measures required.

Giving Every Child
in York the Best Start in Life
|
|
Description:
|
In July 2025 the
government published its national Giving Every Child the Best
Start in Life Strategy. This strategy aims to provide good quality
integrated support for children and their families from conception
to age five, and each local authority will be funded to expand
their Family Hubs programme and develop and publish their local
Best Start in Life plan by April 2026.
Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life, has long been a
political priority in York. One City for All, the City of York
Council’s plan (2023 to 2027), sets a strong ambition to
increase opportunities for everyone living in York to live healthy
and fulfilling lives. A vision which will help today’s
residents and benefit future generations.
We want and have committed York to be the best place for children
and young people to live and grow up, to work together to make sure
children and young people have the building blocks needed to be
happy, healthy, safe, and ready for the future.
The city’s Best Start in Life Plan will deliver this ambition
and positions York to be an Innovative leader of best practice to
improve outcomes that have a long- term impact on reducing
inequalities.
The report will provide members of the Executive with details about
the development and context of the Best Start in Life Plan and will
ask the Executive to approve the publication of the plan.
