Purpose of Report: to set out the progress on the delivery of the Castle Gateway scheme including the proposed consultation material for new public realm on the site of the Castle Car Park and the submission of a related bid to the Levelling Up Fund by the deadline of 18th June 2021.

The Executive Member will be asked to approve the submission of a bid for the Levelling Up fund which incorporates public realm on Castle Car Park.

It has not been possible to give 28 days’ notice of the intention to make this decision due to the availability of material for public consultation on Castle Gateway and the Levelling Up Fund submission deadline of 18th June 2021.

Resolved:

1)   That the progress update on the delivery of the Castle Gateway masterplan be noted.

Reason:     To note the work that has been carried out to deliver the Castle Gateway scheme since the last Executive approvals in October 2020

2)   That approval be given to the inclusion of the Castle and Eye of York public realm in the council’s wider Levelling Up funding bid to central government.

Reason:     To pursue central government funding for the delivery of the new public realm to replace Castle Car Park and the Eye of York.
