REGARDING Councillor Reid and her traffic lights scam - these lights have been changing for emergency vehicles for years now, as Micklegate was a problem for emergency vehicles due to traffic jams under the bar.

I take it that the demonstration that this councillor was involved in proved that ambulances can get to the hospital without having to wait in Exhibition Square, Gillygate, Clarence Street etc.

Oh no, this was a councillor using her status for her own purpose so her daughter's wedding went without a hitch.

Is this what the council are now lowering themselves to?
