IF the Straylands bollard proposal goes ahead, it would create an ideal environment for all learner drivers who plague the side roads off Stockton Lane.

It would be an excellent compromise; Lime Avenue and surrounding areas have suffered long enough, 25 years to my knowledge.

It is unfair to restrict access - the road should be closed altogether which would be fair to all.

Mrs Ruth Clarke,

Lime Avenue,

Stockton Lane, York.
