  THERE is no such thing as a dangerous road, only dangerous road users. Certainly some are more challenging than others, and if one cannot handle those conditions, then common sense suggests that they should stay away. The A31 is no different from other highways and deserves respect.

  WITHOUT wishing to argue the point with a 12-year-old (he appears to be a very intelligent lad), on the subject of wind power (Letters, May 4), I would point out that we live on a planet that has boiled over with heat and energy for millions of years and will continue to do so when we are all long dead.

  RIVERSIDE Park is a much treasured facility for the people of Southampton and beyond. To the north of Woodmill the footpath along the river is prohibited to cyclists, yet the prohibition is constantly ignored by cyclists. There are signs in place, though it has to be admitted that they are not too clear.

  RE barriers being introduced back on Itchen Bridge “Bridge users may face barriers again”, Daily Echo, May 8), it seems to us that the Southampton city councillors are like the Government in that they are not listening to or taking any notice of public opinion.

  THE system that is in place at the Itchen Bridge works, so why oh why do they want to change it? If the barriers break down no one will be able to get through but as it is now if the system breaks down at least we would be able to continue.
