50. @YCA_York round up and finish. Thanks for following the twitter feed. Join our mailing list and keep in touch!

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

48. @KallumLabour Things that were once jobs are now volunteers roles. Look into using ward funding to do those things. @AndreasHeinem Can't rely on volunteers, we are too stretched. Agree with @EmmaCKeef

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

47. Last Q. How do you plan to support local amenities such as West Bank Park? @EmmaCKeef make more use of ward funding. So many dedicated people need support. @joe_pattinson Agree with @EmmaCKeef

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

45. @joe_pattinson need flow of transport, safer transport. @EmmaCKeef space for more cars will fill with more cars. Want to see models to better understand.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

44. Next Q. Dual the ring road? @KallumLabour I'm no expert, but broadly in favour. @AndreasHeinem Dual the ring road and we just have more cars and more pollution in 5 years. Same result for more money. think we need to spend the money elsewhere.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

43. @AndreasHeinem We all live in a bubble, and York a very unique bubble. Maybe we need twin towns just within the country!

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

42. Q. How can we minimise racism using education? @EmmaCKeef make it part of everyday life. @joe_pattinson More co-operation between parents teachers etc. @KallumLabour Need people with lived experience to lead the way. Speakers in schools etc.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

41. Work in partnership with places like St Nicks. Recycle food waste.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

40. Next Q - how will you improve recycling? @AndreasHeinem It can be done, so let's do it! @KallumLabour Get basics right. Give info in more accessible terms. @joe_pattinson information important. Irritate by things that are not recyclable. @EmmaCKeef Crazy what we can't recycle

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

39. @EmmaCKeef Ideas like Castleford. Use disused shop. Walkabouts of site. Go to where people are - pubs etc.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

38. Next Q - how can councillors ensure everyone engages with process? @KallumLabour says mix on and off-line. Knock on doors. @AndreasHeinem use ward newsletter more effectively. Community forums. Get across in transparent mess. @joe_pattinson councillors need to be ambassadors

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

37. Next Q. Should there be a worldwide competition to design #yorkcentral ? @AndreasHeinem yes lets see what has been achieved elsewhere. Learn from others

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

36. Marble ARch, encourage car-less ownership. I survive with 3 kids!

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

35. Next Q. Air quality - what are your specific ideas? @EmmaCKeef air quality data needs to be released. Plant trees. @joe_pattinson no set answer. Elec buses, better cycle routes. @KallumLabour new housing, enviro friendly, few cars, involve community. @AndreasHeinem Taskforce

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

34. Next Q. How can ambitious young people benefit from #yorkcentral ? @AndreasHeinem by having rich parents! @KallumLabour Give them a place to live. @joe_pattinson Echo that. @EmmaCKeef engage and consult people from the start

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

33. @joe_pattinson Manufacturing important. Productivity to keep economy flowing. Big fan of apprentices. Also creative and cultural sector. We are the hub of railway. Make York Central the hub. Low tax - set business rates responsibly.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

32. @KallumLabour hub for rail and engineering, link with universities, apprentice for people coming out of college. Space for young new businesses. HS2 - opportunity there. Council needs to be at the table there - link in York to HS2.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

31. @EmmaCKeef link in with what we already have in York. Creative, science sectors, skilled manual labour to link in with rail history. Grade A office space needed in centre of York, for smaller businesses and start-ups.

[York Central Action @YCA_York]

30. @AndreasHeinem sees manufacturing as needed. If Brexit happens we will need it. @CityofYork needs to think ahead. Not just big IT things. Apprentices needed. TBH not my area of expertise.
