  Instead they've changed this junction against the wishes of the majority, and against very clear safety advice. They wanted to sell off Union Terrace against the majority's wishes. They want to close Becky Lane tip against the majority's wishes...etc etc.
  
  Don't care, don't listen. Shan't be voting for them again in a hurry.

  Indeed. Alexander has made his mind up what HE wants to do, even though everybody who knows what they're talking about is saying no, but he is putting off the meeting so he can convince enough people to say yes. Just because it was a manifesto pledge doesn't mean it was the right thing to do... if the government pledged to go to war in Syria would we say it's a good idea? probably not because it'd kill off more of our soldiers and waste a ship load of money.
  
  The £12k could be invested to be used in better projects. divested for help with social care, or go towards a park and cycle project (london style cycle hire at a P&R site), resurfacing work, tinkering with the traffic lights across the city so they actually synchronise correctly with each other - or at the very least so the sensors work in the way they're supposed to: as you go over the loops in the road and the light is on green, the green is held long enough for you to get through.
  
  It's funny, we have a Tory government making wrong decisions and selling off Britain against the wishes of the majority, and a Labour council selling off York and making wrong decisions against the wishes of the majority.... try and work out who you'll all be voting for now! Raving Monster Loony Party perhaps....

  Remember though Magicman, the majority here was potentially skewed by Hepworth spending a day handing out leaflets to cyclists, now if Mike Usherwood had done the same with motorists, I wonder what the figures would have looked like then?"
