@kientan74 So they're following the law then 😂 as a larger retailer!

I know I shouldn't fall for the clickbait, but... ...yeah, this just confirms that Home Bargains will be closed on Easter Sunday (but open the following day 🤦‍♂️)

@david3012 You seen this @YWHelp see above report of a leak David, they bizarrely have two accounts and only reply to the help one!

Water still pouring out. No sign of any repairs. My water bill has had another massive inflation busting increase though.

@kientan74 @CamdenCouncil I had an issue with @northyorksc who took 2 months to reply to an email when they overcharged me! Good job I didn't need the money.

Me: just trying to pay my council tax all morning @CamdenCouncil: we don't want your money

They repaired a lane for traffic to create this utter nonsense: Delays traffic Delays pedestrians Triple cycle lanes 💰💰💰💰 What an absolute joke and waste of our money

@GSwinburn @yorklibdems Yeah, and the only storage/charging at Hazel Court! So that's why the gear never comes into York, takes an age to drive it in!

@philpinder77 @yorklibdems Yes, and when you see other cities the street cleaning crews have carts with strong sucking equipment .. our guys have a plastic bag and manual litter pickers ..for fag ends too 👿 Scarborough has amazing electric manual machines for the guys -so efficient & rewarding for crews.

Gosh I remember when @yorklibdems Paula Widdowson was in charge - one message and she was all over it- and no it’s not the fab baker.

@GSwinburn @yorklibdems Amazing how few bins we have!

@philpinder77 @yorklibdems Yes there used to be one just in the park -big one- till last year.. plus none by the bus stop either Phil.. why wouldn’t we have bins next to busy bus stops like there, & other city centre locations? Most quiet bus stops to Fulford seem to have em 😉🤐

@dresserman Business Rates budget for billion turnover companies... Tesco Express central York, rates payable rise 4% next year Independent shops rates payable rise 48-93%

Not another high street strategy. 😭

The selections for Labour candidates needs to be more democratic and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local Party members should select their candidates for every election.

Andy Butler has now won 50 games as manager of the Iron: ▪️9th manager to record 50 wins ▪️Quickest to 50 wins (87 games) ▪️Highest win rate (57%) #UTI

@SteveGallowayYk 🫣 and we're told £5 an hour would make everyone walk in!!

Embarrassed York Council gives up on publishing cycling figures as numbers walking to city centre also falls. westfieldnewsfocus.wordpress.com/2026/01/23/emb…

Waited 40 mins for a No 9 park and ride, in town, eventually a single decker came. Now sat at Stonebow for 10 mins. What is going on????? @YorkBusForum

@YWHelp It's utterly shocking, reopening a road is not a priority when the work is done. Leaving these in place for over 4 days unnecessarily is the contempt you have for customers.

@philpinder77 Thanks Phil. We have different teams booked on different job so the team that is due to pick up the barriers will be planned to get these before the permit ends. - Yorkshire Water Social Team

Can I ask @YWHelp why Petergate in York is still closed, days after the repair is fixed? Get it open please

@YWHelp So balls to the fact the work finished days ago, let's keep the road closed for fun? @YWHelp

@philpinder77 Good morning Phil, I do apologise for the inconvenience. Our permit looks to end tomorrow so all barriers should be removed by then. I hope this helps - Yorkshire Water Social Team

@dresserman Especially when it's wrong... Up to a third .. Top offer half price 😂

Another is mixing fractions & percentages.

‘Up to’ promo space can get in the bin. Encourages laziness.

@CampaignforPubs They've had tractors in Parliament every week 😂 so private!

Sorry Kate, this is extraordinary nonsense & you know it. Thousands of farmers protested very visibly & publicly to challenge the #familyfarmtax. 👊👏 Meanwhile UK Hospitality has for years PRIVATELY agreed a completely unfair, unjustifiable & rotten system for calculating #pubs #businessrates & rents. It stinks. 💩 Stop trying to have it both ways. #businessratesbetrayal #StoptheRatesRise

@dresserman Why was it ever designed without cupboard doors 🤷

Staff falling over each other & photo booths look like this.

Just getting started 🤪 #UTI

@DannyWhitehall1 Well done Danny 👏
