When speaking to an Edinburgh Evening News journalist recently I inadvertently passed on erroneous information regarding a problem with prostitution in the cities of York and Cardiff (Politician in vice girl slur on York, December 23).
I readily accept that this information was indeed wrong and having set the record straight in Edinburgh, I am pleased to be given the opportunity to set the record straight in the beautiful city of York. I have always had a great time when I have visited York which is one of my favourite cities and I would like to apologise if my remarks caused any offence.
I would like to wish all your readers a Happy New Year.
Coun Steve Cardownie, Deputy leader of the council, Leader of the SNP group, Edinburgh City Council.
