COUN Potter accuses the Lib Dems of sweeping the issue of 87 Constantine Avenue under the carpet (March 11).

This begs the question of why the Labour Party chose to do nothing for seven years as the situation surrounding this property steadily worsened.

York's Lib Dem council is doing everything in its power to come to a satisfactory resolution of an issue we inherited from the previous administration.

Coun Potter's intervention is nothing more than a piece of tawdry and opportunistic hypocrisy of the lowest order.

Coun Sue Sunderland,

Executive member for housing,

Farmlands Road,

Dringhouses, York.
