REGARDING the demolition of Haxby Memorial Hall, to be replaced with a futuristic building by German engineering firm Huf Haus: I say it would not be a good idea at all.
For one thing it wouldn't fit into the character of the village; and why pull down a Victorian hall and school house? It is history and has been a very useful building down the years, and of course it lies within the conservation area.
Would this fact make any difference to some firm wanting to demolish it?
I do hope the people involved don't get away with it.
