The Council’s web site crashed for a short time as problems with traffic congestion and un-emptied waste bins mount.

A combination of the Lendal Bridge closure, poor weather and high traffic volumes is causing mounting delays on the northern by pass and the inner ring road.
Further congestion is expected tomorrow as the City hosts the “skyride”.
Meanwhile the backlog in emptying waste bins shows little sign of subsiding. There is talk of working on Saturday to address the backlog but how residents will be made aware of such a decision remains a mystery.
The local media have been strangely reluctant to report the scale of the problem pausing only to remind residents to put their bin out by 0700 hours – pretty much futile if the bins aren’t cleared for over 24 hours.
The Council is now saying “ on Friday 13th September some properties in the following streets did not have their garden waste collected as scheduled:
