I AM sure York MP Hugh Bayley will appreciate John Grogan's valued and timely support regarding the Odeon cinema (February 11).

I hope Mr Bayley will be willing to reciprocate the kind gesture by assisting Mr Grogan, MP for Selby and Tadcaster, to try to solve at least some of the many problems of this delightful brewery town.

Recently, conditional planning consent details - in faint print - were published for a comprehensive re-development of Tadcaster town centre.

What were those conditions imposed upon the developer? Is our MP aware of this unsatisfactory situation and is he willing to table an Early Day Motion?

We should be told.

Ida Mary Goodrick,

Woodlands Avenue, Tadcaster.
