I’m still struggling to come to terms with a council, and in particular a council leader who has made his personal opinion on those ’70s cobbles’ so clear, who can disregard the wishes of English Heritage completely. This, couple with numerous ‘#yorkheritage’ tags, displays, in my eyes, a hubris which i cannot begin to comprehend.

Kings Square *is* the square, it’s not the buildings around it, far from it in my eyes, they only frame the square. While the new square will be clean, flat and unoffensive, it could be anywhere, Leeds, Birmingham, Portsmouth, wherever.

We have lost something unique to York.

You’ve encapsulated it all!
