Residents living the former Lowfield School site had been interested to find out on 25th May that the Tees, Esk and Wear Valley Trust had included the site as one of 12 potential locations for a new Mental Health Hospital for the city.
As councillors had not been informed about this Cllr Andrew Waller wrote for further clarification from the Trust, and the response was given that “we would be happy to discuss this in more detail with your and your colleagues if the site does become a shortlisted option. We anticipate that the public consultation process will be considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee in July with a detailed consultation plan included as part of this process.”
The Westfield Ward Team will keep residents posted as there will separately be a report coming to the City of York Council Executive on 14th July with proposals for the site.
