‘City suffering ‘bad Karma’ from visitors’ read the headline in one story in The Press on October 20. One councillor seems to blame it on people from the North East but don’t forget there are 18,000 students in York and I cannot believe they are all studying hard on a Friday and Saturday night in their rooms. There will always be a minority of antisocial people no matter where they come from.

Museum should consider residents

I write with regard to the debate about the National Railway Museum wanting to build a new access from one building to the other and in so doing proposing to close Leeman Road.

I have visited the museum several times and have always walked from one side to the other using the passage under Leeman Road. This, as many York residents will know, is easily accessed in the right hand side of the cafe area in the main building.

With better signage and some renovation I cannot see why this area should not be all that is required for the free flow of people from one building to the other.

My belief is that the museum management see this as a vanity project and have no consideration for the citizens who use Leeman Road.

God bless suppliers of £49.95 City tiles

I WAS overcome with a warm glow, and felt the trickle of a salty tear when I read that City of York Council had given permission for dedicated tiles to be positioned at the Community Stadium to be specifically supplied to York City supporters to enable them to ‘celebrate their passion and loyalty to the club’, and to be sold to them at the very reasonable price of £49.95 per tile (City legend honoured at stadium, October 19).

The column writer, Dave Flett, didn’t indicate who was being given permission to supply but whoever those philanthropists are, may I say ‘God Bless you one and all’.
