I RECENTLY wrote to The Press about the need for a lift in the Delwood Sheltered Accommodation in Fulford (Letters, March 7).

It has been brought to my attention that this has been on the residents’ association agenda since September 2010.

Coun Aspden stated in February on his website that he had “teamed up with the residents’ association” to consult with the residents, yet to date there has been no action.

If elected in May, I hope to be able to help progress this situation swiftly as residents have had their hopes raised and have already been waiting six months.
