I MUST take issue with regard to Mr Snedden's letter. I agree that City of York Council pays scant regard to the protests of we here in Fulford.

Where I disagree most strongly is in his criticism of our ward councillor. I have had the privilege to work with Fulford Parish Council for some time and have seen at first hand the work our councillor does for Fulford.

The people I speak with certainly do not share Mr Snedden's view, nor do they wish him to speak for them.

Had Mr Snedden felt able to accept the council's offer to join them he would have seen at first hand the work Keith Aspden does for his ward. Perhaps then should he still feel the need to criticise, constructive or otherwise, he would be able to do it from a rather broader point of view.
