I AM appalled at the statements in the Evening Press from Coun Galloway saying I have made comments of a "partisan nature" as City of York Council's Older People's Champion (May 24).
I challenge him to specify where and when I have made such comments because I have never used my position in a partisan way.
Every time I have spoken as "champion" in a council meeting I have agreed with the Older People's Assembly what they want me to say and this is recorded in the minutes of their meetings.
I only put forward the views of the members of the assembly because that is what they elected me to do.
Coun Ruth Potter,
Older People's Champion,
City of York Council,
Chaucer Street, York.
