I WAS pleased to see mention of the Local List in The Press (April 8).

The list contains details of important historic buildings in York which are not listed by English Heritage.

I contributed to the list when it was first developed over three years ago by a group of volunteers and it is still available at www.yorklocallist.org.uk/ The group (now part of the York Environment Forum) have been trying to get the council to adopt the List, so that the buildings can be protected.

Some of them are now at risk because they are within the proposed York Central development, so action is needed now.
