IN your article Second Class Service Fear (February 24) there was a quote from Steve Galloway: "The council has not been consulted to my knowledge by Royal Mail. If they are introducing it without consultation with us, then I would be very disappointed."

Now he knows what the people of York feel like when the Lib Dems introduce their policies without consultation, on Arc Light and many more issues. The word hypocrisy springs to mind.

At least Royal Mail is trying to get efficient. That is more than this council is doing, hence well over inflation rises in our council tax bills year on year.
