A MAJOR housing development in York is celebrating its sixth birthday as the site moves into the final three years of construction.
City of York Council Leader Cllr Claire Douglas joined representatives from housebuilder Persimmon at a family fun day at the Germany Beck Development in Fulford.
More 400 new homes have now been completed at the development on the outskirts of the city, with 200 properties left to build.
Food, a bouncy castle and face painting was laid on for residents and families to enjoy marking six years since the first residents moved in.
YO1 Radio were also on hand, broadcasting from outside the development’s show home.
Cllr Douglas said: “I was pleased to be invited to this event to mark the progress made so far on Germany Beck, and to discuss future plans for its completion.
“Sustainable developments like this with access to bus services and close to cycle paths into the city centre are what we need to see more of in York as the city develops over the coming years.
