David Merrett

Councillor - Micklegate Ward

Personal Details

I have represented the Micklegate and preceding Bishophill wards for 26 years, first as a city councillor in the old York District Council and since 1995 for the unitary City of York Council, occupying a wide variety of responsibilities.

I am currently the Labour shadow executive member for Children's Services, and sit on a number of related committees and bodies for that area.

I also chair the Council's Traffic Congestion Scrutiny committee, and jointly chair the Micklegate Ward Committee with fellow Councillors Sandy Fraser and Julie Gunnell. I take turns with my other ward Councillors to attend the various residents association meetings in the ward, and do regular ward walkabouts with senior directors to try to get the council to sort on-going problems (notably street cleaning).

I also sit on the Safer York partnership's Nightsafe task group - dealing with night time safety issues in the City centre, and on the Council's Licensing committee.

I can take up residents' concerns via the option below or by post to 27 White House Gardens, York, YO24 1DZ.
