HOW on earth can someone describe the fountain in Parliament Street as "lovely"? ('Council defends £20,000 York fountain revamp', Evening Press, August 23.)
This pile of marble slabs is perhaps the ugliest modernist monstrosity of a water feature I have had the misfortune to see, and displays absolutely no imagination whatsoever.
Why can York, which exhibits some magnificent masonry in the form of the York Minster, not even make the slightest effort to produce some pleasing structure in the form of a fountain in the centre of the city?
