Westfield ward’s Cllr Andrew Waller said the Liberal Democrats worked hard to secure the grants used to improve Front Street when they were in the administration which ran York Council.
Cllr Waller, whose ward covers Front Street, added the views of all residents and businesses needed to be taken into account as upgrades move to their next phase.
Labour Deputy Council Leader Cllr Pete Kilbane said Cllr Waller should apologise for the move which sparked a backlash amongst locals and a campaign to remove them.
He spoke at a council Executive meeting which backed drawing up detailed plans for Phase Two of works to Front Street, funded by a £557,000 UK Shared Prosperity grant.
