Again I have to agree with G A Musey (‘Road space should have increased’, Opinion, July 9).

I do not know Mr Musey, but he is one of very few who’s views make any sense. I agree with everything he says.

Enfield Borough Council are making congestion worse with their backward thinking regarding the motorist. It is so obvious that they are anti-motorist.

There are more and more people coming to live in the borough and many of them driving cars. So what do the council do? Make it more difficult for the car user.

I have nothing against the cyclist, I used to be one, but now I do a lot of walking to keep fit and I also drive.

It is motorists who are contributing to the upkeep of the roads by way of road tax. I am led to believe, the cyclists do not, but they are using the roads, and I don’t see the cycle lanes being used that much. A lot of these lanes seem a waste of space, as are some bus lanes.

Motorists contribute billions of pounds to the economy by way of road tax, insurance, licence sales, MOT, fuel, spares and repairs. Doesn’t the council realise this?

Even if we all drove electric cars, we would still have congestion. So give us space.
