WITH reference to the proposal to move the Arc Light Centre from Leeman Road to the old Shipton Street School site, Clifton and Bootham is a large residential area and we take pride in our homes.

So why should we have more rubbish dumped on our doorsteps? We have put up with enough down the years.

I am 83 and my doors are locked all day long so don't make life any worse for me. Why should we have that lot forced on us to devalue our property, which was hard-earned honestly? I hope the powers-that-be come up with an alternative site.

Mrs L Young,

Address supplied.
