HERE is my wish-list for the new council.

That there be no more vanity projects (see Shambles Market).

That streets be cleaned on both sides and cars given notice to be removed as before.

That litter bins be reinstated and emptied more frequently.

That small things be attended to, such as the ornamental wooden railings by Holgate Bridge are rotting and shrubs full of litter.

That prompt repayments are sent to all who were fined over Lendal Bridge and Coppergate without them having to email the council. Last time they gave my email address to everyone.

That future necessary road closures be well advertised in advance and signs be adequate, put up in advance.
