MORE than 266,000 households within the Selby district and Mark Crane, leader of Selby Council, believes that sending a newspaper to all those households is the wisest way to spend our well-earned taxpayer’s money.

How can this Conservative councillor justify spending 50p for the newspaper, 10p for the envelope and a further 50p for postage that is £1.10p for more than 266,000 households is ridiculous.

I could find a better way of spending that money and I am sure everyone else in the Selby District could.
