People in York have expressed mixed views over the council’s decision.<\/p>\n
One person told the BBC: “I think it’s the right move, to be honest, I mean, with all the very poor publicity around it, then I think it’s the right decision.”<\/p>\n
Another said they believed the city was tarnished by the association: “For people outside of York seeing the connection, yes I think it possibly dents the city’s reputation.”<\/p>\n
A third said: “People from York are very proud, you know, so yes, strip it down, because it’s a disgrace to York.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, another said: “It’s just an honorary title, doesn’t actually mean anything to the people of York. I mean, you don’t get paid for it, do you?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"People in York have expressed mixed views over the council’s decision.
