Have any of your readers information about the sale of the YWCA hostel on Water Lane, Clifton to Selhal housing group earlier this year?

The sale does not seem to have benefited the residents at all.

City of York Council claims to know nothing about it and there are rumours that the hostel is to be closed and demolished next April, a move which seems likely to add to York's homeless problem.
