IT IS good to hear of the improvements which have been made for racing at York (The Press, May 10).
One small matter has been overlooked and that concerns the group of houses immediately behind the new college.
During the period of the races, those of us who use the facilities at Bishopthorpe cannot turn right to our homes, which are within 200 yards of Sim Balk Lane.
We are expected to go to the Copmanthorpe lights and join the race- going queue.
When we had the Ascot meeting, we were given permits, which allowed us to use the shortest route, and the council managers have overlooked our needs again.
