What is the point in arguing against a scheme that is working perfectly well
elsewhere? Are you suggesting that the people of the UK are in some way less
intelligent or able to to adapt than the people of Holland? Or are you in
favour of further dumbing down?

Look upon this as a first step in despatching Nanny back to the Nursery.


Has any consideration been given to the blind or those who are genuinely
mentally less alert than some of us?

Talk about "nanny" and the rest is all a good headline-grabbing soundbite, but
let's deal with the reality, and not the fantasy of urban designers and others
who simply make their money out of "novelty" and "change for change's sake".

" Or are you in

I am simply in favour of what works: properly defined kerbs work, ill-defined
kerbs don't.
