  • "Let's just have a reality check. This is about 16,000 new homes in York. No doubt the green belt will be under threat for some of it but since York already suffers gridlock; I'd like to know where the new roads are going to go to take the extra traffic. Then the hospital extension to take the extra new patients and of course the new schools. Do we really need more people in York or is it just another central government target the local population have no say on. These are the real issues."

Is there a plot?

SO THE Government planning inspector castigated our council for not saying where the core strategy plan to build 16,000 new homes will find the land for this project.

The site for this equates to about 30 times the area used for the Rowntree development in Osbaldwick. The council owes it to its citizens to be fully open as to where it intends these homes should be built.

Stifling debate on this issue will only lead to people thinking there is something to hide.

Geoff Robb, Hunters Close, Dunnington.
