What a mess! (From York Press)

At the side of the toilet block is a "compound" for boaters rubbish.

No !.... you must have set that up.

Our friend Russell Stone would disagree, as it does not match the general appearance of our City.

I refer to my earlier quoted correspondence on Monday.

Thank you for your enquiry below, however the description you paint of York does not match the general appearance of our city as seen, obviously there are times when standards do slip below those we expect to see, but we aim to rectify these as soon as we can.

We employ approx 30 staff on various forms of street cleansing work, who work 365 days a year giving a service between 05.00 and 21.00, these staff take a great pride in their work in order to present the city at its best for residents and visitors alike.

I would be most grateful to receive your comments in future in order that we may look to improve our service and focus our ever decreasing resources.

Yours sincerely

Russell - given your response I'll try again, but several years ago I gave up reporting the state of this site due to lack of action. It's regularly overflowing at the start of bank holidays, so imagine by a Tuesday morning!

Also, that stretch, with all the benches, could do with a couple more bins.

More bins........they want more bins ....more bins.
Sorry no money for more bins all spent on other daft policies wi fi limos new HQ Dream on you aint getting any more bins.
