THE generous City of York Council has just sent me a free CD about democracy and voting in York.

I regard this as a total waste of taxpayer's money. Surely there cannot be a great demand on the council to produce such an item?

In little over a month I will be required to pay £1,025 for my university tuition fees.

I am sure that, like myself, many 18-year-olds in the York area would rather the council provided more financial support towards university expenses.

I hope the council takes heed.
