IF your correspondent Stuart Murray had read the previous correspondence on the subject of speed restrictions.
Instead of jumping in with two feet part way through, he would have seen that my letter quoting Government figures on pedestrian casualties was a factual reply to a question posed by a previous correspondent who had asked whether any objective research had been undertaken on that subject. No "point" was either made or implied, so it is unremarkable that he was unable to discern one. He would also have seen from an earlier letter that I have no objection to 20mph speed limits in residential areas, provided that main traffic routes and bus routes, the council's winter gritting routes, are not included.
