SIR – Would this not be an ideal opportunity to take advantage of making the traffic flow through Greengates? This has always been a bottleneck and anyone who encounters the traffic here on a regular basis must spend many hours of their life waiting at this congested junction.

Demolish the pub, take some of the pavement from in front of Costa’s, utilise the now spare land on the third corner and still leave the cenotaph where it is.

I’m no engineer but I would think a roundabout could be installed and a subway for the children to get to school safely.
