Sir – £50,000 would be better spent in getting the Post Office back into North Parade — not that the city council has control over post offices.

Tinkering with the layout of streets, when money is urgently needed for resurfacing work and keeping the museum open, seems a bit short-sighted.

I seem to remember what it cost to undo what was done to the ‘rat-runs’ in Cowley. What happens if this new layout doesn’t work?
