I READ with interest the comments in Wednesday's press made by Coun Ann Reid in which she is obviously trying to justify the council's future actions relating to Heslington Lane.

It is fairly obvious that decisions have already been made in the same way that many others have, even though they claim to consult the electorate beforehand.

Has it not occurred to her that the reason the police have so far refused to site speed cameras in Heslington Lane is because any problems that do exist are caused purely and simply by the council's own unnecessary obstruction to traffic?

The police probably don't see why they should spend their resources correcting other people's mishmash.
