After reading Andrew Hitchon’s column (March 19) and Bob Redwood’s letter (March 20) it seems that York’s 20mph speed limits are like the EU; wanted by the majority of politicians but opposed by the majority of people.

In this case we are unlikely even to get a meaningful consultation, never mind a straight yes or no vote on the matter.
