THE Lib Dems have really excelled themselves this time ('Terraced homes hit by bin tax,' January 13).

I have noticed the Lib Dem council always finds someone else to blame for its unpopular decisions - but when it comes to justifying the withdrawal of free bin bags for terraced properties it has gone one better. In one breath Coun Andrew Waller manages to blame the Government and York residents who took part in the council tax consultation.

But the Lib Dems are the ones choosing to take away our bin bags.

When are they going to take responsibility for their own decisions?
