THANKS John Piercy for your comments about the farmers’ market (Letters, April 30).

I absolutely agree with you that this should be in Parliament Street, as should the daily market. The move to Shambles is indeed a shambles.

The centre of York is now dead as a dodo.

When the market was in Parliament Street there was a real buzz and vibrancy to the city. Please can we have our markets back where they belong.
