Letter: Traffic - Restore two-way traffic on streets

Malcolm Neesam (February 13) is right to call for a restoration of two-way traffic on West Park and Parliament Street.

In December, you told us of a “multi-million bid to regenerate a key part” of Harrogate town centre, including, notably, by improvements to Station Parade so as to provide easier access for pedestrians from bus and train stations.

Not surprisingly there is to be no outright ban on cars using Station Parade. By what other route would southbound through traffic go? Surely not by East Parade as a 1970 scheme had it?

A most obvious way to improve pedestrian access to Harrogate town centre for visitors arriving by bus or train would be to remove southbound through traffic from Station Parade by restoring two-way working on West Park and Parliament Street.
