CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the Child Friendly York awards. Not so long ago, young children were rarely given a thought by businesses and retailers. Parents with toddlers were too often made to feel unwelcome.
Today's awards show that times have changed for the better. More than 60 businesses have been commended for being child friendly. City centre shops are providing access for prams and buggies and creating play areas, and restaurants are offering separate menus for their youngest diners.
This council-led campaign means that York has become a pleasant place to visit whether you are one or 100.
