CHANGES to plans for the area around York's new Millennium bridge were being put under the microscope by planning councillors today.
In a report to councillors, planning officer Roger Armistead says the York Millennium Bridge Trust wanted to amend previously-agreed plans by the side of the river in the New Walk and Terry Avenue areas.
The proposals include:
* Reducing the number of seats at the western side of the Blue Bridge from three to one
* The position of the northern deck and associated paving to be moved to avoid the roots of trees at Terry Avenue
* The gate to the deck at the entrance to Rowntree Park to be omitted
* Lighting of Well House to be omitted and the seat next to it moved
* The new York stone paving on the path at the back of Well House to be omitted.
* The coppicing of trees within the Clementhorpe Bank City Wildlife Site to be omitted.
