AS a frequent visitor to your beautiful city (and no I do not care about the parking charges, they are worth every penny!) I was dismayed to see UPVC windows in what I presume to be a conservation area.

I may be wrong in my assumptions, and perhaps Micklegate is not a conservation area; but if it is not then it should be.

The Post Office/newsagent has recently replaced its windows with the ones described. Please do not let your standards slip, these windows are completely out of place with the beautiful surroundings.

Mrs J Perrin,

Redsdale Gardens,

Adle, Leeds.
