At this Thursday’s Full Council rather than address the issues with the roads, missed bin collections, the shocking state of weeds in the city or the issues facing adult social care; York’s Liberal Democrat Group decided to posture with political rhetoric about the EU referendum result.

Conservative councillor Martin Rowley has condemned the votes of Lib Dem and Green councillors at last night’s Full Council which denied him the chance to give just a three minute ‘right of reply’ to the Council Leader’s report.

Last week, Martin Rowley, the new Conservative Councillor for Osbaldwick and Derwent, made his maiden speech at Full Council. 

Our motion tonight is to task the council with how it can be more pro-active on minimising the use of non-recyclable or “single-use” plastics in York.
