DURING the past month York Road in Haxby has been undergoing complete resurfacing and is much improved.

Now the road markings are being replaced.

The results look impressive, but I cannot understand why the council is spending what must be a small fortune painting the sides of the road green.

I believe this is for a cycle track, but it seems to me to be an unnecessary expense because almost all cyclists along here ride on the pavement, usually without any lights.
