AS I now eat my imported Terry’s chocolate orange, I always wondered what the Terry’s factory in York look like on the inside.

The site should have been made accessible to the people of York for one last goodbye with an open day, before the public are excluded from yet another privately owned gated community with access only for those businesses and the elite who can afford the luxury houses posh apartments to be built.

I don’t just want to be an outside observer of the Terry’s site in years to come, but want to feel as a York resident I can still relive the memories and have free access to walk around the site, gazing up at the clock tower with access to the main Terry’s building.

Don’t price out the people of York to a multi-million-pound business and housing development on a historical site that owes so much to those hard-working people who went before and all trace of Terry’s interior building is lost forever to yet another renovated apartment building.
