Labour's parliamentary candidate Michael Boaden has hit out at the scandalous waste of Renaissance money.
He says nothing has been achieved for the millions of public money spent. He was speaking as the Tories and Lib Dems rejected Labour's plans to use some of the money to clean up the city.
"Over five years Renaissance has cost £6.6m in public money. That's a shocking, scandalous waste. Not one job created, not one change made.
There is £300,000 in the Renaissance budget next year. Labour wanted to use £80,000 of to regenerate Botchergate and St Nicholas.
Also that £100,000 be spent cleaning up the city. That would pay for two enforcement officers to check on litter and dog fouling, and would augment the work of area maintenance teams. The city is getting dirtier and it will get worse unless we do something about it."
