York residents survey results click to enlarge
A survey completed by over 400 residents living in the west of York has revealed that highways and footpath maintenance are now the biggest cause for complaint.
73% thought that road and footpath maintenance had got worse in the City over the last 2 years.
The service was followed closely by ice clearance which 69% thought had got worse.
This is bad news for the Labour Council as the response come before the latest set of cuts to winter maintenance are implemented.
Parking provision was criticised by 65% with the large increases in parking charges introduced by the Labour Council likely to be the main influencing factor.
More than 50% of respondents also thought that litter, control of dogs, refuse collection and weed removal had got worse.
Only crime prevention fared relatively well, with 66% saying that the quality of the service was unchanged
The survey results will add pressure on the Council to support additional investment in street level public services at its meeting on Thursday.
The Council is reporting that,
on Thursday 3rd October the following areas did not have their waste collected as scheduled:
Haxby (Green waste)
Compton Terrace
York Road (part)
Hilbra Avenue
Farmstead Rise
Rosecombe Way
Milford Mews
Please present your bin again by 7am on Friday 4th October and we will return to collect your waste.
The Council are saying that they have emptied all bins that were due for collection today.
Today (Monday) the Council is reporting that both grey and green bins haven’t been emptied in parts of York.
Some of the roads listed on the Councils web site as “Micklegate Ward ” are actually in the Dringhouses Ward.
The web site is also a little vague about when the grey bins will actually be collected, although it seems that the green bins in Bishopthorpe will be emptied tomorrow (Tuesday)

The Council have admitted that only 53 new properties with “affordable rents” are likely to be constructed in the City during the next 3 years.
Of these, 35 are currently under construction
YMCA building site
They are located at
• YWCA site, currently under construction: 23
• Elvington rural exception site, currently under construction: 12
• White Swan, to be started 2013-4, 18.
These will be the first affordable rent homes constructed since 2010.
This compares to the (cheaper) “social housing” rent programme which has seen 297 properties completed since 2010.
This total includes the additional Council houses which were given the go ahead by the last LibDem Council administration.
NB. The Council have been criticised for not publishing its Annual Monitor Report. Some data on the Council web site is now nearly 2 years out of date. Particular interest focuses around the progress being made by the Council in providing “affordable” homes against its targets. The lack of progress is likely to be raised at the Council meeting which is taking place on 10th October
