YOU report council proposals to close off Heslington Lane and the use of either rising bollards and/or congestion charges to prevent traffic from using this road ('Residents to get vote on road charges', March 4).
Such a proposal beggars belief.
Just when I thought the council had done all it possibly could to disrupt the free flow of traffic in and around York, along comes another hare-brained scheme which will make matters worse.
There was not even a problem in Heslington until the last council erected those ridiculous chicanes.
This latest suggestion would cost many thousand of pounds. It is obvious that they are hell-bent on squandering vast amounts of our money on ridiculous ventures.
If the expansion of the University of York needs to cause massive disruption to residents, then I would say that common logic predicts that it is abandoned.
But that is beyond the mental capacity of our ruling bodies.
