IN response to Mr Gledhill's letter regarding York Pride (May 2), I would like to assure him that, as one of the local councillors for the area, I have noticed the potholes on Grassholme and have reported them.

He may have noticed that recently the holes have been marked with paint ready for the necessary patching work, and I have been assured this will take place within two weeks.

York Pride is an ongoing effort that requires residents and the council to work together to lift standards across the city.

If Mr Gledhill or anybody else sees any faults with any streets, I would urge them to ring the York Pride number on 551551 or contact their local councillor so that the repairs can be made as quickly as possible.

Coun Tom Holvey,

Liberal Democrat,

Dringhouses and Woodthorpe Ward,

Ashbourne Way,

Woodthorpe, York
