YET again we hear the same old anti-car rubbish from Paul Hepworth. Once again he says you can’t build your way out of chaos, but the truth is the council has built its way into chaos.

It has done this through restricting the flow of traffic with so-called traffic calming, especially with the use of chicanes and closing off certain roads to traffic, while not improving other routes to take displaced traffic.

Hopefully the new administration will have more of a balanced view and are heading the right way by scrapping the expensive gimmick called the congestion commission.

All they need to do is to ask people who have to drive on York’s roads every day as part of their job.
