York City Council's Planning Committee

It has to be said that the two main political parties in York have been equally guilty in collaborating with the developers to spoil York's heritage. It is believed that Liberal Democrat Councillors were under a 'whip' to vote in favour of Coppergate II, while Labour Councillors were merely told to do so. In this climate only two Councillors voted against Coppergate II. These heroes were David Wilde (Labour) and Gerald Dean OBE (Conservative) - gentlemen, we salute you.

The bad guys are below...
