SIR – I would like to comment on the development at Simpson Green, which was passed by council.

The traffic problem is horrendous at peak times, and very busy all day, we have a road which is used as a rat run eliminating the lights at Greengates.

At the bottom of Apperley Road, there is a single swing bridge, at the top it comes out into Leeds road, where you have to enter watching traffic from six roads going into it, yet the council thought that was no problem.

We can rest easy knowing our council have our best interests at heart, or is it their own?
