This March, Rejuvenation Days will focus on Micklegate and the surrounding area, ensuring the city continues to look its best.

Carl Alsop, Operations Manager at York BID said: 'It was fantastic to see so many businesses, residents, and community groups come together last year to make a real difference in our city.
'The enthusiasm and civic pride were truly inspiring – whether people took a day off work or joined as local residents, everyone played a part. We can't wait to see how much of an impact we can make together in 2025!'
Cllr Jenny Kent, Executive Member for the Environment and Climate at City of York Council said: 'York BID Partnership Rejuvenation Days: the perfect antidote to a long grey winter, and a powerful example of the difference we can all make - in just one day.
'It's fantastic to be a part of the enthusiasm, pride and positivity of everyone involved. Roll up your sleeves, sign up for a session and help transform our streets this Spring.'
A York resident identified as Nicole said: 'Volunteering for this project was an incredibly rewarding experience! There's something so satisfying about seeing the immediate impact of a cleaned-up space and fresh coat of paint.
'It's amazing how a little effort can brighten up the city for everyone. Plus, working alongside other volunteers made it fun and fulfilling. If you're looking for a way to give back and take pride in your community, this is the perfect opportunity!"

Doubts About 7-Eleven US IPO Emerge After Couche-Tard Scraps Bid
(Bloomberg) -- Seven & i Holdings Co. is drawing some skepticism about its plan to take its North American convenience stores business public after Circle K-operator Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. abandoned its ¥6.77 trillion ($46 billion) takeover bid of the Japanese retailer. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Manhattan, Chicago Murder Rates Drop in 2025, Officials Say Now that Couche-Tard has walked away, there's little reason for Seven & i to list 7-Eleven Inc. — one of its most prized businesses — because it no longer needs to fend off an unsolicited offer, according to investors and analysts interviewed by Bloomberg on Thursday. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates the 7-Eleven business could be valued at about $40 billion. 'The company should keep holding its entire stake as the situation has changed,' said Ikuo Mitsui, a fund manager at Aizawa Securities Group Co. '7-Eleven is the company's crown jewel, and it makes more sense for it to keep its 100% stake, which should contribute to higher corporate value.' Doubts about 7-Eleven's IPO are growing in spite of the parent saying that plans for a US IPO are still in place, even after Couche-Tard's withdrawal. At stake is the future of what could be one of the world's biggest IPOs in years — a person familiar with the matter has said the deal could raise more than ¥1 trillion. Asked to comment on the doubts, Seven & i said there's currently no change to its IPO plan of the North American convenience store business. According to Taku Sugawara, an analyst at Iwai Cosmo Securities Co., Seven & i may have considered listing 7-Eleven to push up the listed parent's stock price as part of its defense against Couche-Tard's unsolicited bid. 'Now, the only thing that Seven & i has to do is pursue self-growth,' Sugawara said. 'It's possible for the company to end up scrapping the IPO plan.' Aizawa's Mitsui took it a step further. 'There's no need now to list the US business,' he said. --With assistance from Koh Yoshida. How Starbucks' CEO Plans to Tame the Rush-Hour Free-for-All Forget DOGE.
