WITH mind boggling incompetence, the local authorities failed to consider the health and safety of cyclists when they decided in their wisdom to allow all traffic to use the cycle lane in Gloucester Street. Any council would have placed signs for cyclists to be aware of oncoming traffic, instead of the token gesture of an A4 document pinned to a street sign. One can only hope that any inevitable casualties sue those responsible.

P EVERETT, Crescent Road, Oxford
