Following the article about York City FC's long-overdue planning application to redevelop Huntington Stadium ('City stadium plan ready within 'next ten days'', November 15), Ian McAndrew's reluctance to give a firm date for submission referred to the need to inform all the relevant parties.

The community of Huntington is very much one of those parties but, to date, has neither been contacted nor consulted by the club.

In the circumstances, the sooner this is corrected by York FC the better so that a proper liaison can develop.

We look forward to hearing from the football club.
