Too much food packaging
Posted on 8:29pm Sunday 9th March 2008
It amazes me how much packaging supermarkets and producers use for their food products. All of this hits the dustbin almost immediately furthering the problems with the planet’s environment.

The last few weeks
Posted on 3:54pm Tuesday 25th December 2007
The last few weeks have been rather hectic - hence the lull in writing my blog. I have been preparing for Christmas and tying up loose ends on the Council. I seconded a motion for cross ticketing on York's buses, presented a petition against the potential selling of Back Park and I have opposed the potential closure of Fulford Post Office.

From our brief meeting, I could tell she was competent and extremely good-natured.
