  • "My view from the outset was that this was driven by corporate greed, regardless of the damage to the City. The stadium was just a sop.
    If this project does not go ahead York has had a lucky escape, and we now go to work on finding a realistic and viable location for the stadium.
    As for the speculators, tough!"

It’s vital we don’t write off stadium

REGARDING the latest news on the development of Monks Cross and the traffic situation are we now to assume York is complete write-off to any further development (The Press, April 27)?

It’s ridiculous that suddenly a couple of shops and a new stadium is now the tipping point as far as York’s roads are concerned.

The infrastructure around here has never been perfect and I don’t imagine it ever will be. So do we just sit on our hands and not develop any of York ever again?

No one is going to fund the large sums really needed to sort out all of York’s roads, so I guess this is it for the city. No development, no moving forward, no more new jobs.

What a crying shame.

John Dock, Beckfield Lane, York.
