In his criticism of further restrictions on car usage in Brighton, Andrew Abaza destroys his own arguments when citing Chichester's trade boom (Letters, July 14).

Two main thoroughfares in that city have been pedestrianised with not a car in sight, a move followed by many other towns, including Horsham.

On a weekday, he would see those streets thronged with more shoppers than the pavements alone could have accommodated.

-Maurice Packham, Horsham
