I REFER to the recent letter by Wojciech Simpson published on October 18, regarding the plans to build more houses in and around Haxby, and agree with the comments.

Not only do travel plans need addressing, Haxby Station has long been a priority, more so now Lendal Bridge is closed. But parking in Haxby needs serious, urgent consideration too. It is difficult enough to find a parking space now in Haxby and the situation has been worsened since Sainsbury’s cut the size of the car park and put restrictions on it.

It must be a nightmare for older people who are bad on their legs and for those in nearby streets, having them clogged with parked cars because they can’t find any other place to park.
