WHY is it that our elected representatives never want to take the rap when things go wrong?
First we have Steve Galloway blaming bad publicity for the empty car parks (June 28). The bad publicity was their own doing because they upped the parking fee to £2 an hour.
I have just been to Plymouth where parking is £2 for six hours right in the city centre.
Then we have Andrew Waller blaming the residents for the delay on the swimming pool at the Barbican, then we have Derwenthorpe, the university, Germany Beck, Coppergate II, plus others all under or set for public inquiries, and why? Because councillors were elected to represent all the residents of York, but when it comes to communication a zero rating applies.
Mr E A Carter,
Marston Crescent,
Acomb, York.
