IT just gets worse with City of York Council, especially in relation to Royal Ascot. Not satisfied with giving Ascot a racecourse to use while theirs is coming up to scratch with ours, our council is "paving the streets with gold" for them with our hard-earned council tax.

We struggled to get bin bags until someone found spare cash in the coffers then hey presto, there's money for all kinds of projects such as new fences, cleaning jobs, painting and graffiti removal just for the Ascot lot.

Are we Yorkies considered to be daft?

Lib Dems, you're gonners at the next election, you have no sense of loyalty to Yorkies.
