ANDREW Walker asks (Letters, July 23) about the evidence for the hasty decision about the selling of Union Terrace Car and Coach Park to York St John University for expansion; is it a hasty decision?

The Liberal Democrats commissioned a report on the use of the car and coach park in March, before the local council elections, so for how long before were they in consultation with York St. John University discussing the expansion of their premises on to the parking area?

Why do we not have any comment from the university about how important is this expansion.
