LISTENING is becoming the buzz word in the governing of our country.

City of York Council is in danger of not listening on the Coppergate II development. Eighty two per cent of the informed public stated that they do not want this scheme to go ahead (having been given all the information) and still the council seemingly wants to proceed.

Democracy is a great thing, the planning committee should make up its own mind having listened to the people.
