JANET Kitchen seemingly misunderstands the role of our city council officers (Letters, May 6): to give elected councillors impartial advice on the law and Government guidance, and then to implement the councillors' decisions.
So far as transport is concerned, successive Governments are encouraging councils to reduce car use.
Peter Evely is merely passing this advice on to elected councillors, and is doing it in the highly professional manner which I have always known him to display.
