The 20 mph propaganda web site run by the Council is still claiming that west York will be covered by the new 20 mph limit “by the end of the 2012/13(financial) year”.
Well it hasn’t happened…….. fortunately.
Most residents still haven’t been consulted on the plan which could see £600,000 wasted on an unnecessary array of 20 mph signs on roads where speeds are already less than that limit.
The latest monthly house price monitor in west York (YO24 postcode area) reveals house prices stable, although there are still some bargains to be found.
