I am shocked and bewildered by the current furore about the money spent on cycle lanes and traveller sites (Letters, May 30). Even those who hate cyclists and travellers must realise they need somewhere to go. Surely the alternative is extermination?
As a taxpayer, £2.50 to £3 per resident seems reasonable. Perhaps it is helpful to put it in some kind of perspective.
We, ie, our Government, is spending, per resident, £1,000 to help the banks, £1,400 to decommission nuclear power stations, £1,400 to build new nuclear missiles and submarines, plus a few hundred pounds for new roads for "travellers" who drive cars.
