WITH reference to the story “Zoning In” (The Press, September 19) it looks as though, at last, something is to be done on the York Central site.

Surely some of the land could be allocated to a bus station, which has been much needed in York for many years.

The one in Hull is located next to the railway station and I have always thought this an excellent idea.

We have numerous visitors to York and they could travel by rail and simply transfer to a bus to their hotel or a York attraction instead of travelling by car, thus saving them exorbitant parking charges and polluting our city with fumes and leaving our roads less congested.

York must be the only city without a bus station.

We are surrounded by little market towns, like Malton, Tadcaster, Pocklington and Selby who all have excellent little bus stations.

I have lost count of the number of times I have been asked by visitors where the bus station is.

Come on York councillors, do it now before there is no more land available within the city.

LET’S hope that the Government agrees to make the teardrop site into York’s first Enterprise Zone (The Press, September 19).

The bid is being made by the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership.

If York must join a group in the devolution system, this shows where they should go.

Would the large cities of the West Riding have backed York in this teardrop quest? Somehow I doubt it.
