The Yorker can confirm that Tokyo Industries have purchased Tru nightclub, ending months of speculation about the club’s future
The Sports Centre tent will remain open until at least 2016 after City of York Council gave the sports hall an additional six years planning permission at a meeting today.
The parents of student James Alexander Ednie Matthews, who passed away last Wednesday, have said they feel comforted by the tributes his friends have left on his Facebook page.
Club Salvation will be reopening on 12th August following a fire at the club two weeks ago.
The fire alarm at the Minster went off at approximately 8:40pm yesterday evening. At the time members of the York chapter house choir, who were mid-rehearsal, were evacuated along with other members of the public. Many had to leave their personal possessions inside the building.
About ten minutes after the evacuation, the fire service arrived. At approximately 9:20 pm the fire service were still inside the building and the problem had not been resolved. At the time of writing it is unknown what the source of the smoke was, but an electrical fault has been ruled out.
One of the students who was evacuated from the Minster said that it was very unexpected as usually you just assume a fire alarm will come to nothing.
