Charles has now appointed Prince Andrew to step in for him first if he is ill or out of the country. That's right, the same Prince Andrew who was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein and used £12 million of our money to settle a sexual assault case.

BREAKING: Liz Truss says she is confident that cafes can cope with their energy bills rising from £10,000 to £55,000 a year and she doesn't see what the problem is x

@ConservativesYO @deanrayson @CityofYork @labouryork @BarnesSYork My final tweet on this as it's simply Tory lies. If Labour planned housing there too, as you claim, then where's your evidence and why were no details in our local plan? As for the £4m, this is only a prospective capital recept. More than offset by social gain in value of park.

@AcombPark @deanrayson @CityofYork @labouryork @BarnesSYork It says ‘existing’ that means current use not a forever use. Come on @BarnesSYork stop the political games on this and work for residents. As you don’t agree with the previous Labour plans, we ask again - how do you find the missing £4 million?

@AcombPark Any feedback from the meeting in summer folks please? Or any updates? Posted on Facebook a week ago with no reply. Ta.

@ConservativesYO @deanrayson @CityofYork @labouryork @BarnesSYork That's simply not true I'm afraid. The image below shows clearly how, under Labour's 2013 plan the fields were planned to remain as open space. Fast-Forward to the 2017 @ConservativesYO plan and the fields have been changed to space for 'Strategic housing'

@AcombPark @deanrayson @CityofYork @labouryork When you say ‘@labouryork completely opposed’, you mean ‘@labouryork only opposed it AFTER they left power having proposed the exact same use until then’. If it is to be changed from housing where would you get the missing £4 mln @BarnesSYork? (to use your real twitter)

@CllrKeithMyers @yorkpress @theyorkmix @BBCYork @CityofYork No response yet from @CllrKeithMyers I hope we are given information soon about the park as it's what we've been calling for for some time. @CllrKeithMyers any information on the exact details of the park would be gratefully received.

@CllrKeithMyers Yes we'd love more information about the new park - when will it open? - who will own / manage it? - exactly where will it be and what size? - when will the community be involved in planning it? - what funding is available for it? @yorkpress @theyorkmix @BBCYork @CityofYork

Good to see the cleaning up continuing of the former Manor School playing field. Also found the school foundation stone. We will store it until we can use it in the new park.

Are you affected by #HolidayHunger? We have food available every Tuesday and Friday during the summer. Pop down between 10 and 12 and stock up x

@AlistairGreaves @CllrKeithMyers @ConservativesYO @BarnesSYork @katielomas99 @YorkLabourCllrs @labouryork Yes we'd love to have more information about the new park @CllrKeithMyers - when will it open? - who will own / manage it? - exactly where will it be and what size? - when will the community be involved in planning it? - what funding is available for it? @yorkpress @theyorkmix

@CllrKeithMyers Why are you saying there is going to be a 'new park.' when your @ConservativesYO administration has earmarked the entire site for 'strategic housing?' Do you know something we haven't been told? @AcombPark @BarnesSYork @katielomas99 @YorkLabourCllrs @labouryork

Fantastic turnout from over 50 enthusiastic and concerned residents at last night's mtg to discuss the future of the former Manor School fields. Updates from @BarnesSYork and @katielomas99 from @AcombForum Time for @CityofYork & @ConservativesYO to start listening to @AcombWard
