SIR – Regular correspondent Philip Bird has come up with some bizarre statements over the years, but his assertion that speeding drivers careering through the narrow residential streets of Saltaire are somehow “doing their bit for the Greens” (T&A, July 10) really does defy belief. Speeding traffic is the biggest complaint brought to us as councillors by the residents of Saltaire and my colleagues and I are happy to support those residents in any way we can in order to help alleviate the problem.
The provision of a 20mph zone around the world heritage site, as Council highways officers are now proposing, will go some way towards imposing sanity on people like Mr Bird who believe they have the right to make other people’s lives a misery.
Councillor Martin Love, (Shipley, Green Party), Farfield Rd, Shipley
