I could not fail to notice the reply said to have been given by MP Ivan Lewis to your reader (Anxious Motorist, June 10) that traffic chaos is the price of regeneration.
Regeneration generally follows degeneration, and I cannot see how degeneration in facilities, resultant from the so-called improvements, can be described as rebirth or regeneration.
Surely it is oxymoronic to claim degeneration is the result of regeneration.
Which pseudo medico-politicians signed Prestwich's death certificate; or even warned of its moribundity? Was the haemorrhage of its life fluids exacerbated by the placing of a large knife, in the form of Tesco, so close to the original wound?
Does regeneration mean the effective blocking of the roads - those life giving arteries - with the inevitable thrombosis and deadly infarct?
Some prices are too high to pay for those forced to pay them, notwithstanding the profit to be made by some others.
