WHO is responsible for designing the new York sixth form college alongside Sim Balk Lane, Bishopthorpe? To me it is as ugly as the infamous Stonebow House in central York.

It is a huge building which spoils the view when entering York off the A64 via Dringhouses and when viewed from on the York ring road. The colour scheme of pink and turquoise is like something out of a "First Bus" or worse.

It may well be well-equipped inside, have excellent teachers and sports facilities - but why did it have to be so ugly? It is like a carbuncle on the face of someone we love.
