WE keep hearing about the new-style traffic wardens being over zealous and hovering like vultures to pounce on cars and dishing out tickets left, right and centre.

I think it would be a good idea if Bob Howarth and his Council seconded some of these wardens to start booking cyclists who ride on the pavements, in particular on the precinct and Town Hall Square. I'm sure this would keep them very busy.

This would bring a substantial amount of revenue for the Council. It would also make pedestrians feel a lot safer.
