MY mother and father lived in Regent Street in the early 1980s and I remember them having structural work done to the roofs shortly after.

Steelwork was fitted. Must have rusted! If I was a gambling person I would say their mind was made up the last time it was in the paper.

All the sites are prime building sites. They will build new ones all bunched up, then sell off the rest of the sites.

I bet nobody at City of York Council will say that they will build them on the same footprint with space like they have got now to enjoy. I await their reply.
