The York Council – already a legend in its own time for trying to conceal information from residents – has hit a new high.

They are now publishing their plans in French.

No, not a translation, just in French.

We are told on their web site that the Cabinet will make a decision on 4th December about “Le marché International des Professionnels de l’immobilier (MIPIM) 2013”

Precisely what decision they will make about – rough translation – “The International Market for real estate professionals” remains to be seen, but his organisation does meet every year in Cannes.

They dole out prizes to building projects.

Surely not another foreign trip on the agenda?

Residents should be told!
