b) retain but refurbish

a) yes, in the location

I particularly like the
use of stone paving
and granite setts in
the roadway. It will
certainly make the
square feel more like
a "square" for
pedestrians. The floor
area is in a poor state
of repair right now
and this would
certainly make the
square be a much
more social and
pedestrian-friendly
space.
I absolutely do not
like the idea of
removing the raised
part of the square.
The raised part gives
a very unique "feel"
to the square, affords
some privacy on the
seating, and generally
breaks up the space
instead of it being
completely flat such
as Parliament Street
and St Helens Square.
I do thing the raised
area needs to be
refurbished, but
please PLEASE do not
remove it in its
entirety. It is a key
part of the square
and really helps it
make it unique.

The architect seems
to have
overestimated the
space available it is
clear from the recent
photo that the main
problem with Kings
Square is too much
clutter - stalls and A
boards. If it is to be a
performance area
then they need to go,
the space is simply
too small. York is a
crampt city and needs
public open spaces to
be exactly that -open.
This is an entry to the
Shambles and the
Market and a clear
route through would
be welcome. The
propsed scheme
seems to offer little in
return for the outlay
involved.

I like the proposed

Square, seeing this a
a great improvement
The loss of the black
basalt pieces of
roadway, a feature of
many of the historic
core streets, is a loss,
as they act as a
reminder of old York.
The raised area of
Kings Square is, of
course, the site of
Holy Trinity Church
and is, as such,
consecrated ground.
The lowering of the
raised area, which I
support, will have to
be done sensitively
with regard to the
archeology of the site
and the reverent
disposal of any
human remains that
are found. Set in the
raised paved area are
about 12
ledgerstones that
were presumably part
of the floor of the
church. These survive
in more or less legible
condition and are of
importance.
Consideration must
be given to their
future. Discarding

seated areas in the

Not many, except the
improvement of the
road and pavement
surfaces. Save the
money for more
urgent changes. As a
pedestrian I have no
issues with walking
through this area,
which I do regularly.
We need to ensure
that there are
sufficient accessible
car parking spaces.
These are being
reduced all over town
and I am very
concerned that
disabled drivers will
have very reduced
access to town and
will therefore have no
option but to drive to
out of town shopping
centres. Not a good
plan.
The raised area is a
perfect stage for the
street performers.
The tree on the area
was only recently put
there to replace the
previous tree and it
would be a shame

it. I am a York

Alternative 2 - the
raised area in my
opinion gives the

character, and should
be retained.

provides extensive

would be difficult to

about the prposed
removal of several
mature trees, this is
not acceptable in my
mind. The area is too
small an area to
accomodate any cafe
seating if it is also
used to be used
effectively for street
performance. The
raised area is a
natural stage for
performance and the
removal of it would
be to the detriment
of future street
performance, it needs
to be retained.

here, it makes an
ideal stage for the

It is important that

The removal of the

there.
This square is a busy
square, it has street
traders and buskers

popularity of the
area, without these
the square and the
city would loose its
appeal.I hope these
people will not be

desruption to other

Court and more

about the material to
be used to mark the
fortress line and does
not label it).
I am not in favour of
returning the raised
area to ground level.
The path behind the
raised area is one of
the distinctive
features of the
square and is well
used as a pedestrian
through route. I
would be concerned
that if the whole area
were to be flattened
some of the square's
charm would be lost.
I would hate Kings
Square to become a
performance area for
loud music or speech
through microphones
and am wary about
the proposed pop up
power. The area is
small enough for
performers to be
heard without
amplification. It
would become
somewhere to avoid
if it got taken over by
loud public
performances.

One of the major
assets of the square is
the raised area and
the burials that it
covers. The area gives
the square its sense
of history, which is an
essential attraction,
standing as it does at
the top of the
Shambles. To remove
the raised area and
any burials would be
desecration. On the
contaray its
graveyard nature
should be
emphasised with, as a
minimum,
refurbishment of the
existing grave stones.

No, Kings Square is
fine as it is, it just
needs a little TLC, a
few benches and not
to be so cluttered
with stalls so that it's
easier to walk
through. If there's a
demand for a larger
performance area
that can easily be
included in the
Parliament Street
makeover
Claiming the idea is to
make it better for
pedestrians, but
leaving stalls near the
main
Shambles/Market
artery is stupid, put
the stalls under the
trees near the road
(which wouldn't
matter if it's
pedestrianised) and
you open up the main
part of the square,

bottleneck as you
head to/from the

The seating must be
shared among the
cafes on the square.
If this cannot be done
fairly - and let
turnover NOT be the
measure of a cafe's
qualification - then it
is better to have no
tables at all. Litter is
an unacceptable
problem in the
square. Hygiene
hazards are also
undesirable. No York
resident wants paper
cups blowing about,
or an addition to the
presence of pigeons
in the square, which
might arise from food
debris being
scattered on a windy
day.
Refurbishing the
raised burial area is
welcome. Could
there be a discreet
memorial to those
buried there.
Please don't make
the roadways and
footpaths
undistinguishable.
Look at Coney Street
in a rain storm to see
how confused
pedestrians are when
the street is awash,
and a vehicle comes
by. The Shambles is a
great example of how
to remind pedestrians
that it is a working
street.
Please leave the
trees. York is far too
ready to fell trees.
Just take a look at the
Darlington to Thirsk
road to see how
mature trees can
look. Please clean
the working parts of
the litter bins daily.
They are a disgrace.
Please dispense with
one of the telephone
boxes. Remove the
(unnecessary)cash
machine - there are
more than half a
dozen of them within

Halifax, HSBC, banks,
for example. I think
you should instead
spend the money set
aside for the

Changing the number
and location of trees
would give more

Kings Square is an
excellent public space
that has a variety of
uses, but is also
permeable. It is a
meeting place,

but the best bit is that
these uses are
unstructured - which
makes it enjoyable.

Kings Square has
always been a
disappointment,
mainly because
pedestrians are
always competing
with traffic, and
fighting against the
layout of the square.
I like the idea of
maikng pedestrians
the priority, + feel
that this package of
measures will go a
long way towards
this.
Not really, but I do
not feel that the
quare requires a large
an#mount of seating.
I prefer it as a space,
rather than a large
seating area.
It's essential that the
square becomes a
more important part
of the city centre, and
not just the home of
acts like flame
throwers. Kings
Square must be
improved, and made
to feel like part of the
city again.
