I READ with interest the recent article surrounding some parish council taxes increasing by a third (The Press, April 19).
What I found most interesting was the comment from Liberal Democrat councillor Richard Moore. He is in charge of council finances and he said: “With the City of York Council cuts, many parish councils are mindful they will not be receiving as much help from the council with certain projects like they did last year.”
This is a very different message to a recent Liberal Democrat flyer saying: “There are no such cuts in York”.
Could someone official from York Liberal Democrats please clarify why their election literature is saying something very different to what their head of finance says? I think it is very important that voters in York know the truth before they go to the polls on May 5.
