I HAD the pleasure of visiting your historic city. The rubbish on the streets certainly looked historic.

The pavements were covered with rubbish - cigarette ends, fast food litter and dog dirt. Windowsills had bottles and cans stood on them. In all it was a filthy disgrace. What foreign visitors thought I hate to think.

Come on City of York Council, get yourselves off your seats and have a look around and act.
