The recently-elected Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, is to launch a Mayor’s High Street Fund, using some of the money central government has awarded the region as part of its devolution deal.
Mayor Skaith, who owns the Winstons of York clothing store, told the AGM of York BID last night that the new combined authority of York and North Yorkshire has been setting its goals.
He told the AGM at the Principal Hotel that he is emphasising the region’s streets and bringing people into town centres.
