TO close Lendal Bridge to all but public transport, while providing a new and expensive pedestrian and cycle bridge just for the benefit of those living in the Bishopthorpe Road and Fulford area, tends to favour the few rather than the majority in respect of the allocation of funds and services.

The effect of closing Lendal Bridge to all but public transport would obviously be to just increase traffic and pressure when crossing the river at the other side of the city.

This is unnecessary.
