I COULDN'T believe my eyes when I read about the proposal for yet another pedestrian bridge over the Ouse at an estimated cost of £3 million (August 28).

Shouldn't the council be getting its priorities right? How about repairing some of the existing footpaths and roads for a start, or housing the homeless?

Who will enforce the 'no cycling' regulations on the new bridge? The same people who enforce the rules on cycling without lights, riding on footpaths and the wrong way up one-way streets?

Heaven help the poor pedestrians then.
