WELL done to Barbara Hudson (Letters, September 29). I am willing to help you clean up the disgrace which is supposed to be a fountain.
I am regularly in that area and am appalled at the state of it, mainly with cigarette ends. Perhaps it could be filled with flowers but would that make any difference? I suspect not as people would still use it as an ashtray. Takeaway coffee and food containers are also deposited there and it is not just the young who are the culprits.
Bring it on, Barbara. Let’s get our city beautiful again. I am a Freeman of the City and I could weep sometimes when I see the state of it.
Brenda and Dave Batty, Heworth Hall Drive, Heworth, York.
