The York Council has issued a media release claiming to list the streets that will benefit from this years highway resurfacing programme.
The list is a supplement to the base programme which was agreed in March. It will add £2 million worth of work and bring expenditure back up to the level inherited by the Labour Council, in 2011. During the last 2 years the highways resurfacing budget had lost nearly £4 million in much needed investment.

Interested residents who would like to know whether their roads is included on the list will be disappointed.
The list is missing from the Couincils web site!
It is the latest in a series of irregularities which has seen
- a report on Lendal bridge supressed,
- “key” decisions reclassified to prevent an all party public debate,
- an attempt to sabotage the independent report writing protocol,
- misuse of taxpayer funded equipment to promote party political objectives,
- misuse of the Councils media team to promote a “decision” (free parking) which hadn’t even been taken together with
- the publication of incomplete/inaccurate information about the Local Plan.
The base highways resurfacing programme was first published last November and confirmed at a meeting held in March.
