An artist's impression of the rear of the proposed Groves Chapel development
THE council’s decision to allow yet another supermarket to usurp yet another iconic building fills me with sadness.
I had expected better from this council.
As a nation, we are eating ourselves into ill health and an early grave, and York is an even duller place.
Small stores have closed, good stores have moved to soulless out-of-town shopping centres which tourists won’t call at.
The Groves Chapel could have been transformed into a centre for people of all ages to meet for pleasure, comfort, music, plays and to hear speakers...
Must money always win? Must the appeals panel always win?
