Mike Laycock’s report, “Lost in York… Where’s the Minster?” (The Press, December 29), highlights the difficulty visitors to our beautiful city of York have in finding their way around. With budgets forever being squeezed, Visit York and the City of York Council will not be able to resolve this situation in the near future.
The Friends of York Walls plan to have Volunteer City Guides operating around the city centre offering friendly advice and directions to visitors.
We hope to have them in place for this summer season. We would like to make a plea for volunteers and sponsors for this service. If you think you can spare a couple of hours or so and have a good knowledge of the city’s attractions and places of interest please contact us. We would also appreciate sponsors for this service and to cover the set up costs.

Chairman, Friends of York Walls
