THE people of Selby do need a new hospital, but because the council is vacating its offices to enable Tesco to build a larger supermarket, instead of the larger well-planned hospital, built in its own pleasant surroundings which we rightly deserve, we are getting an inadequate, ill-conceived stone building three floors high, co-joined to the council offices, its workshops and store yard.
If anyone else had put these plans forward they would have been thrown out.
Why has £9.2 million been spent on the hospital and £11 million on the council offices, which have no connection with the public?
All council business with the public is carried out at the access shop in town. Do we pay rent to Dransfields for the use of these premises?
Dorothy Caukill, White Street, Selby.
