I WAS surprised to read in your paper that the reason for the closure of Harcourt Street in Heworth, was that the residents want to reclaim the street for themselves (June 13).
I was always under the impression that roads and streets were built for the use of vehicles.
I work at Glen Garage and I and other members of the staff use this street regularly to go to and from our place of work.
It is also used by our customers.
Are these residents now prepared to pay for all maintenance of this street which others are not allowed to use?
They can hardly expect the public to pay if they cannot use the street.
Mrs D M Green,
Kentmere Drive,
York.
