We have just received Your Essential Guide to York of York Council's Service' and The York Citizen Charter and noted this cost approximately 32p per resident to produce.

We cannot see how City of York Council can justify spending more than £32,000 boasting about their activities and producing what seems to be a duplicate section of the telephone directory. This money could have been put to better use funding a much-needed sports centre for the Rawcliffe/Clifton Moor area and much-needed facilities for the youth section of this area.

Mr and Mrs Solman,

Troutsdale Avenue,

Rawcliffe,

York
