Sir – It is precisely to help people, like M E Fawcett (Letters, September 25), with reduced mobility, as well as those burdened with shopping and children, that we need to keep bus services in the city centre, and running on central streets. It is vitally important that all these groups continue to be able to use buses, something I think we both agree on.

 

More and more pedestrianisation will, however, push bus services further away from each other making this more difficult.

 

We need to find a solution, but M E Fawcett’s suggestion, of a long loop skirting the city centre, has been tried and did not work because it was not commercially viable.
