VISION is good. It implies a long-term, thought-out strategy, which has got to be better than simply blundering along hoping things will turn out for the best.
The fresh vision for York’s future unveiled by city leaders is, therefore, to be welcomed. And the broad aims identified – to make York a safe, thriving, sustainable and inclusive city – are certainly laudable.
But in themselves they are not enough. It is what the council does to try to realise these aims that really matters. That is what the authority will be judged on in the future.
