AS WELL as enjoying the atmosphere and fun of the Tour de Yorkshire, I was struck by how much more enjoyable it was to walk from Holgate to Bishopthorpe and Knavesmire with my family during the event without the usual traffic.
We are increasingly aware of the harm of poor air quality, but I was struck by how peaceful it felt to be without the constant sound of traffic.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could turn parts of York into a car-free zone more than once a year?
