City council is made up of Scrooges

I can only describe the councillors of York as the Scrooges of Britain after the announcement that there would be no civic festivities for the Millennium. Mice memories

While reading Bryan Marlowe's column (Evening Press, January 4) horror of horrors the word mouse sprang to my eyes. No big metric deal
