IT IS welcoming news that the Government is to invest £11.8m to repair York’s pot-holed roads, that have been left to go to virtual ruin by the Labour council in York over the past three and a half years (The Press, December 24).

As Conservative candidate for Heworth in the 2015 elections, I pledge to use the Conservative-led Coalition government’s £11.8m to repair York’s pot holed roads for the people of York.
