I AM a private hire driver and I wish to compliment City of York Council on the traffic organisation. I know that all at Ebor Cars were pleasantly surprised how well the traffic moved.

The opening of Terry Avenue was a real plus and it went like clockwork. Most passengers were full of praise for the event itself and the friendliness of York people.

The most frequent complaint was of the rip-off prices charged by hotels and this in turn led people out of York. There is no doubt that most hotels let York down with their motivation for a quick buck.

Hotels apart, the message from visitors was 'well done York'.

A P Clayton-Chance,
