"This la juat a citizen's group, there's no political affiliation. We just feel tbere's a need for something like this. Partlcularly in'the Iast year there's a feeling that the citizens of Witby have flot been involved in the decisions of council and I think tbat's been the kick in the pants that was needed to get this thing going...
