PLEASE can anyone explain what "York Pride" is is it a secret society and does it only apply to York inside the bar walls, and not to us at Strensall?

I live in a cul-de-sac and we have had our communal grass cut once this year, despite all the verges in the village and round Northfields being cut three times.

Ours is a good 12 inches and full of dandelions. Our bit of road is absolutely disgusting and very dangerous. It is full of very large potholes, it isn't as if we play marbles!

The yobs have disposed of the Northfields Road sign. The name was on a metal plate with tubular steel legs and set in concrete.

The roads and gulleys are cleaned regularly but, dare I say it, not ours! We reported the complaints listed to our councillors and still nothing has been done.

The water board was round this morning, checking the stop taps and guess what? It can't find ours.
