RESIDENTS’ fears about snakes in York are to be raised with one of the city’s MPs.
Osbaldwick councillor Mark Warters is to write to York Outer MP Julian Sturdy, asking him to help residents worried about snakes escaping from their neighbour’s home in Osbaldwick Lane.
As The Press reported on Thursday, local residents called in City of York Council after a three foot-long dwarf boa constrictor was spotted curled up on the pavement.
Dr Rama Isaiah and her husband Vijay have lived in Osbaldwick Lane since 1998 and say the snake is one of more than 50 kept by their neighbour, Pauline Wallace, in the three-bed semi-detached house next door.
Coun Warters said: “I have been to see neighbours who have been in tears they are that terrified.
“The question you have got to ask yourself is: would you want to be living next door?”
