SIR, I read that, thankfully, the city council are going to be investigating how to deal with traffic congestion in the city. Presumably they will be spending the money they have saved from closing down the Park and Ride schemes, possible with a top-up from the decrease in subsidies to public transport, on consulting with consultants who might well come up with some terrific suggestions about subsidising Park and Ride and public transport schemes.

It is always reassuring to know that the people at the top are completely in control of getting to the bottom of such issues.
