I WAS shocked at the ludicrous suggestion of a big wheel so close to Clifford's Tower. Councillors are supposed to look after York, but they seem hell bent on simply wrecking the area around Clifford's Tower one way or another.

York is unique and let's keep it that way, not clone it with the likes of Leeds or Blackpool. People come to York simply because it is York.

If we are going to be really silly, I suggest putting a big dipper above the walls - no I haven't been drinking. Has anyone any suggestions for the fun house and rifle range?
