COUNCILLOR Steve Gallaway's suggestion, aired on Radio York, that "the swimmers of York travel to Leeds to swim in their large pool," is amazing.

We could also travel to Leeds to shop, visit pubs and restaurants, sports and the theatre.

We could all move to Leeds and leave councillors and property developers to swamp York with luxury apartments - but we don't.
