OBJECTIONS from Richard Smyth, head of St Peter's, about a sex shop in Bootham fall on stony ground.

Bootham and Gillygate are among the worst polluted areas in the country.

We in this area are plagued, day and night, by the many hundreds of vehicles that attend and leave St Peter's and St Olave's schools.

How can he bemoan, or object to such a shop when the whole school run is amoral, obscene and highly environmentally damaging?

This heinous school traffic does far more damage to people's well being, both mental and physical, than any non-obligatory, non-descript sex shop.
