AS THE days grow closer to the take-over of the council into the hands of a Labour majority, I wonder if one of the first items on the agenda will be Water End.

The priceless wonder of how to cause the biggest backlog of motorised transport, with traffic queuing from Boroughbridge Road to Clifton Green, which causes one of the biggest pollution areas possible on a York road.

Labour should do the motorists and residents a favour and revert the road back to how it was before, which will stop the rat run into Westminster Road, and keep the road running free.

Oh, and Mr Alexander – the street lamp I have been asking for over the past 40 years, will you keep your promise to my wife of, “If you vote for me you’ll get the street lamp.”
