THIS council in York should stop blaming everyone else for Government capping.

Excess waste of residents' money has brought about this episode.

Had we been asked, I am sure the people of York could have saved Mr Galloway and his colleagues £400,000.

At what point did we lose our democratic right to have our say and be actually listened to?

This council is a disgrace. A day of action is needed so councillors can see for themselves just how unpopular they and their ideas are.

Mr K J Sellars,

Thanet Road,

Dringhouses,

York.
