WE have been waiting for the council to fit a street lamp shield to our house since the summer of 2012.

In that time the council has managed to move offices, shut Lendal Bridge and repave King’s Square. Is this why residents are having to wait so long to get proper jobs done?

• Editor’s note: the council got in touch with Charlotte after she wrote this letter, although the shield has yet to be fitted.
