Say NO to spending £660,000 on York 'brand'

Please don't spend £660,000 on developing a 'brand' for York.

Why is this important?

With so many cuts to local spending during the recent years of austerity, it seems quixotic, disingenuous and irresponsible to be splashing out on something that we already have (Make it York). We already have a 'brand' our Yorkshire Rose and our reputation is enough to encourage people and trade to come to our city;

"In 2018 York was named Britain’s best place to live by the Sunday Times and best city for architecture in the world by Condé Nast Traveller magazine." (Chloe Laversuch, The Press, 7th January 2019).

We also have the injection of Ultra Fibre broadband, the first in the country, to attract further business to our city!

I believe York could benefit more by having the money spent on another, more needed, area e.g., housing, environmental issues, public services, education, the homeless in our community...

Let's make York even more of a place to be proud of, by leading the way in the things that really matter to everyone sharing this beautiful city!

Make it York
