IN response to new Labour leader Dafydd Williams pledging to refund Lendal Bridge fines and freeze council tax (The Press, November 29), Cllr Williams is merely desperate to win back voters for the elections next year.

I really hope the fine people of York are not taken in. As Conservative candidate for Heworth in York in the May 2015 elections, I pledge to freeze council tax and take the Government’s council tax grand to free council tax bills.

I would also want all Lendal Bridge fines refunded automatically.

Terry Smith Fourth Avenue Heworth, York.
