Residents Dont Want Homes Built

Glad to see that the council leader is asking residents whether or not they want developments to take place.

Just a shame that this only seems to happen on a rare basis and that even when residents are against a proposal they seem to get the go-ahead in any case (Germany Beck, Barbican, Derwenthorpe to list a few)

It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the council leader is the councillor for the ward that is affected by the proposals in this article?

The shop that that is referred to in this article has from my memory always been in the city centre and when I have passed has always been busy - and it would be a shame for it to close.

One of the problems that I see in York is that "normal" shops are dissappearing - you know places where you can get a pint of milk or a paper etc - especially outside of the 9-5 durge.

We need places that actually serve the local people and not just the tourists and shoppers. People will argue that if the market was there then they wouldn't close. Well this petition just proves that the market is there.
