A group of York students has won the opportunity to have their very own I-phone application developed after winning The App Challenge final, held at the Ron Cooke Hub on Wednesday, January 18.
YUSU Welfare officer Bob Hughes has warned students to be vigilant after a student loans phishing scam has been revealed.
Her Majesty the Queen will be visiting York on Maundy Thursday, 5th April, as part of the 800th anniversary of York’s Charter for the traditional “Royal Maundy” ceremony.
A flood caused by a heating system “failure” forced the university IT services to shut down many essential systems on Sunday night, causing problems for many students on the eve of their exams and assignment due-dates.
The owner Andrew Elliott appeared before council chiefs in the Guildhall on Monday, who had to decide whether to revoke or suspend their license for three months, remove the club's manager, exclude a licensable activity from the licence, or modify its conditions.
However, it has now been agreed that the nightclub will have ten conditions added to its license which means the installation of noise limiting equipment on the sound system in the basement and regular noise patrols on the outside of the building by staff.
Nine noise complaints were investigated by the council last year, with an assessment by the council's night time noise patrol team confirming that noise levels were above the legal limit in nearby residences.
A report to the council also detailed the inadequate and unsafe crowd control measures used by the door staff, with people apparently being pushed out in the road, or sustaining minor injuries. However ten galvanised steel crowd control barriers have since been purchased by Ziggy's to prevent this from happening.
Students expressed their concern at the possibility of Ziggy's not being open as normal, with one student commenting that it would be 'very disappointing' if Ziggy's had to shut, joking that it being 'devoid of morals means it is the only place to go for sports socials'.
No doubt many students are glad that the outcome of this hearing has not prevented them from enjoying their Wednesday nights out in Ziggy's.
