[Image taken 25.2.21] New Walk is on the opposite bank of the River Ouse to Terry Avenue. It was originally suggested as a viable alternative to it for the duration of the Clementhorpe flood defence works. However, the all-weather surface … [more]

Lots of parking spaces coned off for social distancing, and this genius moves a cone to block the pedestrian/cycle access as well.
