Area needs a boost

10:45am Thursday 3rd May 2012 in Letters

REGARDING the news (The Press, April 28) that the garage in Piccadilly could be offered to retailers at a knock-down price to kick-start the regeneration of that area, this would be great idea as at the moment it is all looking rather tired.

I was told that the garage was once a hangar, either making planes or housing them; very interesting.

So let’s hope all these ideas for developing Piccadilly ‘fly off’ the drawing board of the city of York future plans, for this area needs development soon. It is an eyesore.

The area needs affordable housing and good landscaping not more shops, there are plenty already in town.

It was used to make gliders for the WW2 D-day invasion, and was previously a trolley bus depot
