WHAT a fantastic letter by Ian Foster published on March 13.

Mr Foster certainly told many home truths over easing the of traffic problems round York when Lendal Bridge was opened for the day on Saturday.

I hope members of city of York council have taken notice of this. Also I have to agree with him over the Labour council and the many ridiculous decisions and schemes they have forced on the citizens of York. Well done Mr Foster for speaking your mind and no doubt the opinions of many.

Let’s just hope the council start listening to the public of York by first opening Lendal Bridge immediately, and in future having more consultations with the electorates that voted them in, as many feel let down.
