I AM all in favour of the purchase of a new limo at a cost in the region of £60,000 to York residents.

This is a big improvement on the huge amounts wasted on the rejected, proposed, council HQ in Hungate.

A great city like York and its Lord Mayor need a smart limo for the prestige it will represent.

Even in these hard economic times, it would be a backward step for any Mayor to be driven round in a three-wheeler bubble car.
