REFERENCE the Straylands Grove bollards. Would City of York Council be prepared to rerun their consultation exercise, this time asking:

"We propose installing the bollard, and in fairness to all only emergency and public transport vehicles will have access over it".

I wonder how many positive votes would be cast. Probably none.

This is a demonstration of the manipulation of consultation processes to get the answer you want.
