Apparently, the press just ignored them - repeatedly. Someone needs to start asking questions and help these students @21percentgroup @GoodLawProject @AcademicChatter @RachaelMaskell #studentabuse

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030.

Replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension.

Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage.

Poverty awaits future retirees.

£500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

Don't know how they found this account - hasn't been in regular use for a while - but another stain on York's reputation. Is it the most corrupt city in England?

Opportunities for university graduates and other incomers. the actual people of York were never asked if they wanted to be dragged into UNESCO media arts scheme. World Heritage the same - a handful of unelected self-appointed elites deciding the future of our city.

[Simon Newton @SimonNewton5]

@yorkcivictrust It would be nice but probably twenty years too late.
Much more important for the future of York is that it is now a UNESCO Creative City and part of a global network of creative cities. Enormous opportunity for the future.....

A Management Consultancy is given £19.5m to tell schools how to save money teaching children with SEND. The firm's website boasts 0 experience in Education but the DfE has tasked it with reducing EHCPs by 20%. Just when you think you've seen everything...

You have until the end of the weekend to have your say on which play equipment should be built by the Red Tower.
We need the local community to choose! If you have any children in your life who would play on it please help them to vote.

Disappointed to see this back for another year. How many public buildings in York gifted by council to commercial interests and no longer accessable by their owners - the people of York?

This org/event supports this exclusion & promotes wealthy in our city. Do not support.

[York Unlocked @YorkUnlocked]

On Oct 8th, @YorkGeorgianSoc will host a "John Carr of York" tour, covering Garforth, Castlegate & Peasholme Houses. @yorkcivictrust @VisitYork @NorthYorksNews @yorkshirepost @thisisyo1 . Book via website 9th Sept

Disabled people asked for this as part of @CityofYork Big Conversation. A year later, after much pushing, it is finally happening. Your chance to practice boarding a bus without any pressure of bus moving or public gaze ! https://t.co/1yi6DF7wwP

What has been achieved so far? The powers that be have 'talked' about the problem that's existed for years.

The @UniOfYork has tripled student size to c. 20k in last decade with 30+ % increase to go plus extra lecturers + families. Was this planned for?

Not rocket science

York MP holds summit on ‘dental crisis’ in city https://t.co/u2N7rKu5mE Lots of work is now underway to advance dental services in York.

[Concerned Citizens of York @ForAllYork]

What a sick city York is. Food banks empty they are so much in demand but our political and intellectual class think spending £3000 per artist to make a beetle trail no one needs or asked for is a good use of public money.

They live on a different planet to the rest of the city.

[Make It York @MakeItYork]

@CityofYork please confirm that @yorkcivictrust are fully insured to advise on transport policy in the city of York.

Citizens need to know that they will never be asked to pick up what could be a multi million pound bill if the advice is weak or wrong.

@RMTunion @radiodandy75 Other day I went to buy a ticket from the machine and it was £45, i knew that had to be wrong so went to the ticket office and they explained the machine was only giving me a peak ticket. I was travelling after 9:30 and they sold me a ticket for £15. What would I have done 🤷‍♀️

[Concerned Citizens of York @ForAllYork]

Poor journalism. COVID infections outside of hospitals are no-longer tracked. How did you confirm these figures?

[The Press @yorkpress]

Only one area of the city is now showing on the map...

Or we recover council tax equivalent for every student at the ever expanding @UniOfYork to fund some proper local services.

The Uni needs to pay it's way in the city before building a £65 Mil student hub.

Aiming to expand 30+% why wasn't uni growth in local plan & discussed?

[City of York Council @CityofYork]

Recognising rising costs and, following a fortnight of action to support residents, City of York Council has agreed to increase – and in some cases to double - the value of food and fuel vouchers.

[Flick Williams @flickhwilliams]

Out of order TVM at York station advising seeking the assistance of a member of staff. Even if all machines were 100% reliable & sold all ticket types, they are still inaccessible to many. If you are struggling to read it, that’s my wheelchair view & I cannot.

[Concerned Citizens of York @ForAllYork]

A priority for public spending right now when food banks in the city are begging for donations they're so overused.

@yorkcivictrust sponsored by property devs & property legal & PR firms - how about them paying?

Any comment @RachaelMaskell? ... or just silence as per usual?
