WOULD your repetitive and imprecise correspondent Clive Appleyard, instead of parroting claims that council service standards are not to his satisfaction (February 14), actually do what the rest of the city now does?

If they spot a problem they ring York 551551 and ask for it to be remedied.

Coun Mark Waudby,

Brecksfield, Skelton, York.
