STEVE OXBROW’S opinions of delivery restrictions are ill considered (Letters, February 15).

There are always effects to such suggestions. By further restricting delivery times, premises would need to open earlier and later, adding to costs or missing deliveries.

Does he want to strangle trade in the high street to death; it won’t take much pressure at the moment it will be quick but not painless.

And if you were to ask any delivery driver in York for their vision of hell the answer would be “look about you”.

Any more bright ideas, please think them through.
