ANOTHER building knocked down without any thought. The disappearance of the Carlton Tavern is another sign of the decline of Acomb.

I have no objection to nursing homes but feel that with Oakhaven being empty for years that should be altered first.

Is the Carlton Tavern listed?

If it is, this makes the situation even worse as yet another interesting building is turned to rubble.

There would be an outrage if a listed building was knocked down in the city centre of York, so why should Acomb be any different?

The way for a better Acomb is to protect interesting buildings and change their use.
