Cathedral Square Traffic
Sir, —In British and Continental cities, central city squares and market places are used for parking hundreds of cars. The present defeatist policy of our traffic authorities in discouraging motprists from the Square and central city streets, though mistakenly sincere, is just as out of date, reactionary, obstructive, and prejudiced as the following views recently reprinted in the “Akaroa Mail” from their old files: “A few people daim the right to drive the public off the roads. Harmless men, women, and children, dogs and cattle have to fly tor their lives at the approach of these slaughtering, stinking engines of iniquity. 4 (Mr Cathcart Wilson, M.P.). Another M.P. described can as “statutory trespassers on the road with no inherent rights whatever.” Youn, etc, SETH NEWELL. December 16,1965.
