Well I did not know that - so I learned something today - I am
connected to Melrosegate so I guess the vote in York will be split
across several exchanges. I also don't know how the council-supported
big rollout of the fibre infrastructure that has been going on for the
past year or so links to this if at all?  All over the place there
have been trenches dug with purple plastic ducts which I was told by
one of the guys working on that as I was walking in one day is part of
the fibre infrastructure being installed across York.

Anyone know any more about this?
