I REFER to Mr B Weatherley of Bishopthorpe's letter concerning noise and road humps (April 14).

I also live in Bishopthorpe and am similarly plagued by noise as car transporters and HGV juggernauts take road humps at speed.

Cars and caravans are usually cautious, but motorcycles enjoy the obstacle course.

Despite the installation of double glazing one learns not to open a window or use the garden.

Speed cameras would serve equally well and make no noise. Could we not go down the same road as Liverpool and Sheffield and remove the humps: thus pleasing the ratepayers of York who were not consulted in the first place?
