YORK is lucky to have some fine examples of iron and it is sad to see so much of it decaying.

Some efforts have been made in Fishergate and Bishopthorpe Road. Maybe this is down to the Civic Trust?

I read how the city centre retail is struggling and then in another survey York is top as one of the best places to live.

York has great shops and buildings that are unique; an example is the upgrade to St Leonard's Place.

Yours Sincerely
