"Why do we all need to campaign to keep the roads where we live open to people who want to take short-cuts down them? We know that roads that don't take through traffic are much much nicer than roads that do. It's quieter, the air is cleaner, we can open our windows and hear the birds sing. No one disputes this and you are not disputing it. Why is it so wrong to want it? Why, in this particular case, are "other road users" wishes more important than our own?" It's because we all share the same roads. and it's selfish to think that yours is just for you. we would all like "nicer roads"!!!
