WHEN, oh when will we see the back of Galloway (Steve not George) and his cronies.

The latest in a long line of cock-ups sees his announcement that we won't get a swimming pool on the Barbican site - and he has the audacity to blame the protesters.

I could make a long list of "lesser" towns and cities than York within a 30 mile radius whose leisure facilities put ours to shame, and a very short list of those inferior to ours.

Where are the kids from the south side of the city going to swim without the help of parents with cars? Do me a favour Galloway, stop messing about or get out!
