Council leader Keith Aspden: he should explain to the taxpayers of York why the authority needs a £24 million government bailout, and what the money will be spent on, says our correspondent. Picture: Frank Dwyer
York council chiefs need an extra £24m on top of the £10m already received from Government to weather the pandemic. This is not an insignificant sum. Therefore, does the council leader not feel it is his duty to explain to ratepayers not only why this money is needed, but also describe in detail how it will be spent, plus does it have to be repaid?
