WITH a third Labour councillor to resign the whip and party, I’m sure Helen Douglas won’t be the last under to go.

I can’t ever recall three councillors in a couple of years ever doing this from any party on City of York Council.

A Labour-led council in debt, rather like a country led by Labour in debt, now explains why Labour have made things so hard over reclaiming fines over Lendal Bridge.

So it rumbles on with not one shred of decency or of doing the right thing for all concerned. When you have made a mistake and have been proved to have done so, how do you live with your actions?

Let’s also not forget the spy camera car which operates in York, doing things it was not intended to do.

Now it seems ever more likely to that we will have a hung council due to the latest defection.

Every cloud – you know the rest. The sooner the better for all who love live in and care for this city.
