If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, is the expression that sprang to mind when I read the headline on on-street parking in the News (August 15).

You reported some very sound reasons why this idea should be shelved, but the key inference by the traffic manager was that motorists currently clog up the streets by parking all day.

How can they when there is a one-hour limit throughout the town?

At present folk have a choice, use the free spaces (if available) for up to an hour or pay to park in the car parks – fair enough I say, leave well alone.

Yet another example of the ‘we know best’ muddled logic being applied to our transport problems, look at the West Bay pinch point debacle and the proposals to put traffic lights on the A35.
