I WAS delivering in Dunnington last week and to my huge annoyance, saw three council workers painting flower tubs in Church Street – and as if that wasn’t enough, two more painting the wooden railings over the railway bridge on York Road.

Either the council is having an economy drive or they aren’t. How can they be wasting money on trivial jobs like these and then tell us that there is insufficient funding to deal with potholes in the road.
