A LETTER printed last month relayed news of four lifebelts having been found in the River Foss, obviously thrown in by idiots on the stretch between Haleys Terrace and Heworth Bridge.

Walking down by the riverside, I was pleasantly surprised to see that City of York Council had taken on board my concern and are in the process of installing new lifebelt stations.

Congratulations to the council for the fast and efficient way they have dealt with the problem.
