CAN I through your paper let people know that although I have resigned as vice-chairman of Ryedale District Council, I am still a member of the council, which a number of people have not realised.

I continue to represent Malton (where I live) as best I can.

Would it be possible to say that, in my opinion if a retail food store has to be on Wentworth Street car park then the best one would be M&S. After all, Northallerton and Beverley both have an M&S and look at their footfall. Also, it is my belief that neither of these have as many supermarkets as Malton and Norton.

Ann Hopkinson, Ryedale District and Malton Town councillor
