Budget Q&A with York council leader (From York Press)

• ""It is a tough one as this is a service not all residents use. for example some residents who don't have gardens but have relatives who require care services can say why are we giving free collections for garden waste to residents with gardens, when I don't have one? And yet my relative needs care services. It is a sad matter of priorities at a time of experiencing a 30% cut in Government funding.""
  
  This has to be the poorest argument anyone can ever raise.
  
  Let's all list things we pay for but don't use and moan about it."
