I REFER to the news report on the front page ('Lendal Bridge to shut for six weeks', Evening Press June 28 ). Mr Evely states the work will be carried out in September to avoid the summer holidays.

Surely this would have been the best time to close the bridge, when the children are not at school? This is the best time to travel into York. The poor driver who has to cross the city will be more stressed than ever. Where's the logic?
