YOUR readers may recall that I had sufficient confidence in the traffic management plans put in place by Peter Evely and City of York Council and that I wrote before the start of Royal Ascot to thank them for their hard work (Letters, May 23).

I also said the key word was patience and that it could work if we all used common sense. I am pleased therefore to join my other colleagues from the trade in saying I told you so to all the many doubters.

Well done to one and all.
