Sir — I write to thank the city council for so thoughtfully providing Alresford with some of the traffic problems already suffered by residents of Winchester.

Since they moved the bus stop in West Street into the middle of the road, instead of leaving it at the side, we can now have our very own traffic jams.

In Alresford, we provide a large proportion of Winchester’s council tax income, but all we get from Winchester City Council is traffic jams and threats to remove funding for our public conveniences.

Thank you, again, for all that you do to disrupt our lives.

Roger Harwood, West Street, New Alresford.
