I refer to David Hughes’ letter concerning ‘quieter neighbourhoods’ and mini-Holland (‘Residents’ voices must be heard’, Opinion, September 24).

At the meeting referred to in his letter, residents’ voices were indeed heard, and were overwhelmingly hostile to the proposals.

Perhaps those residents opposing would have been more amenable if they did not come clothed in a whole load of anti-car owning baggage.
