In reply to the person in last Wednesday's mailbox. There is no comparison with the London areas to our lovely Portishead. I know Chiswick, Hammersmith and Harrow, I also know Stratford, Leyton, Hackney and also the towns of Romford, Chigwell and Waltham

In reply to the person in last Wednesday's mailbox. There is no comparison with the London areas to our lovely Portishead. I know Chiswick, Hammersmith and Harrow, I also know Stratford, Leyton, Hackney and also the towns of Romford, Chigwell and Walthamstow. These are big towns with continual traffic.Buses, lorries, coaches, cars, day and night.We are still like a small village and only have this area from the garage, Cabstand and Leo's, so why so many traffic lights, in such a small area?Do we really need all this muddle and confusion?It makes me think not.We are not London, but a spoilt Portishead.B Roper - Charlcombe Park, Portishead
