BULLDOZING the Carlton Tavern in Acomb - a splendid example of a Victorian villa - is beyond my comprehension.
Visit to said hostelry - where my children and grandchildren could enjoy the spacious grounds along with affordable catering within a safe environment - were a pleasant day out for all.
I suggest the location would be ideally suited for a care home run by City of York Council in conjunction with the NHS.
This could help the elderly needing after care as they recover from surgery and help to prevent bed blocking at York Hospital. This in turn could provide employment and a more stable environment for staff.
