REGARDING Colin Hall’s letter of August 13, proclaiming York to be a “City of Sanctuary” and a “City Of Faiths”, I would like to enquire, did the indigenous population of York get any say in this decision, or was it bestowed on us with some hidden and quiet agenda by the Labour administration of City of York Council, and therefore putting more pressure on our schools, housing, NHS, doctors , roads, etc?
