ON Saturday November 30 at 2.30pm I queued for greater than 25 minutes on the Fishergate loop within the right-hand lane into city, solely to search out the rationale for the gridlock was everybody queuing to get into Citadel Automotive Park.
This was stopping anybody getting additional into York.
I work within the emergency providers and need to drive into work in the course of city.
In the meantime as I handed the First Bus cease to my nearside reverse Clifford’s Tower the queue was virtually again so far as Peckitt Road. The Park and Journey Bus stops outdoors Kuda nightclub stretched again across the nook into Cumberland Road.
I recognize the issue is automobiles coming into town centre full cease. However November 30 was an ideal instance of why York’s battle on automobiles won’t work.
If public transport already can’t deal with the variety of folks utilizing it and it is a depressing ‘sardines in a can’ expertise, how can that be constructed on to discourage car use (particularly on roads not large enough to accommodate bus lanes)?
York Christmas Markets carry bordering on harmful ranges of individuals to town centre as was seen November 30: I noticed plenty of folks strolling within the highway on Nessgate nook.
It must be unfold out into areas like York Citadel the place there’s extra room.
Citadel Automotive Park if deserted as a parking lot in favour of St George’s Discipline can be a supreme open house for Christmas markets.

Can he be severe?
I WAS puzzled when studying John Taylor’s letter (The Press, November 5) the place he advises pensioners frightened about retaining heat in winter to attend till April for a rise of their pension. Is he severe?
Do I actually need to level out that the chilly winter months are usually anticipated to run from late November to February/March.
It’s attainable, even possible, that a few of these pensioners who’re frail won’t make it to April.
I’ve heard that the check of a civilization is how they deal with their most weak folks.

… READING about little Sara is horrific. As a former foster carer I’ve this thought: why when a toddler is faraway from the dad and mom is it a rule that these youngsters proceed to be pressured to proceed having a relationship with them? To be advised that these dad and mom have been a stunning household is complicated no less than. To my thoughts, it is a nice motive that such cruelty occurred and can accomplish that once more,
