May I congratulate Ms Mary Weastell on her appointment as Chief Executive to City of York Council. I note from the article in The Press of May 24 that she thinks her focus is "on exploiting the city's strengths to drive growth and prosperity...etc". Not quite. The role of the Chief Executive is to manage the officers and staff employed by the Council and to undertake the requirements of York City residents as expressed through their elected Councillors. Good luck!
