A section of footpath near York Minster in Bootham has closed for tree felling work. The closure affects the area between the projected south-western boundaries of properties No. 3 and No. 4 High Petergate. The works began at 9am on Monday 19 October and are scheduled to remain in place until 5pm on Wednesday 21 October, though the council said the footpath may reopen sooner if the work is completed early.

City of York Council said the temporary restriction is needed to allow tree felling works to be carried out safely. The footpath will close between 9am and 5pm each day while work is taking place. Traffic signs and barriers will mark the affected area, and a signed diversion route will be provided for pedestrians throughout the works period.

The closure notice does not prevent access for emergency services or for works within the closure area. Access to nearby premises will also be maintained where it is safe and practical to do so. Anyone seeking further information can contact City of York Council via highway.regulation@york.gov.uk.
