Cost of York anti-terror bollards rises to £3.5m
The cost of installing permanent anti-terror bollards in York has risen to £3.5m since the plans were first agreed in 2018.
Sliding and fixed barriers to prevent “hostile vehicle attacks” are to be fitted in the city’s pedestrian area.
An extra £1.75m is needed for the scheme. Councillors blamed inflation and the increased price of steel and concrete for the rise.
Police said it was “an unacceptable risk” not to put measures in place.
