City of York Council will remain as an independent local authority following local government reorganisation, it has been confirmed
I am pleased that City York Council will stay as its own unitary authority (York council ‘to be spared in shake-up’, July 22). Local democracy and local accountability - that was the theme of council leader Keith Aspden as he spoke for the Lib Dem-led authority.
Contrast that, however, to his party’s continued calls and support for our country to be controlled by the distant EU based in far-away Brussels. Do personal employment opportunities influence their opposite stances on how local and national government should run?
