    YOUR correspondent Keith Chapman wrongly believes that tighter building control would have prevented brickwork falling from the Phoenix Restaurant (Letters, July 17). That building was erected more than 100 years ago and is not subject to modern building regulations. Our building codes are among the toughest in the world; making them even more onerous will not prevent incidents of the type in Clarence Street, which thankfully occurred in the early hours when few people were around.

    THE Monks Cross shopping park has been a great success but only just copes with the car parking level it has at present (The Press, July 1). During busy periods, one can drive around for a while waiting for a space to become vacant. So the proposal to reduce this facility by 54 spaces while at the same time expanding the complex will create big problems. By all means let’s have a major jobs boost, but we need the parking facilities to go with it. To approve additional facilities while at the same time reducing parking spaces will turn out to be yet another monumental planning blunder that we can all do without.

    So the city council’s excuse for destroying the Peasholme Green Centre is that they could find no sustainable future use for the building (Demolition day, The Press, May 26).
