Whether we like or loathe the motor car it is part and parcel of twenty first century life.
Lately we have been encouraged to 'go electric' with the council boasting of installing electric charging points, minimal numbers in places unknown.
Park and ride? A joke.
Now we have cycle lanes and a reduction in overpriced parking.
The trustees of our city talk of pedestrians and a traffic free environment while closing their eyes as to how these pedestrians might access the city.
Grandiose schemes of the past, East Street and the Marlands have failed, shops in West uay lie empty, the public in the city carry few shopping bags.

thedailyecho--2020-08-03--LETTER - Southampton MP told 'less pot-stirring and more constructive proposals'

Royston Smith ( letter 29th July ) seems intent on politicising the steps the council are taking to increase active travel .
Although he professes to be pro-cycling , his statement that road capacity has been halved betrays his real thinking : capacity for motor vehicles is halved ( in some places ) , but capacity for cyclists is hugely increased .
He says he supports e-bicycles and e-scooters but where does he think they are going to go ?
Cycle routes take time to be used as people who had previously found cycling too dangerous adjust their habits , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system ( something the council is planning for ) they will never be fully utilised .
He complains about lack of consultation , but the council is using powers and funds recently granted to them by his Government specifically to introduce cycle lanes quickly without consultation and then to monitor them and adjust as necessary .
Perhaps he should be complaining to Boris or Grant Shapps rather than trying to make trouble for the council ?
Finally he even jumps on the 5G scare-mongering band-wagon to complain about `` proposals to put 5G @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gardens with little or no consultation '' as if there is some anti-democratic pattern of behaviour or any particular issue with 5G .
• Residents up in arms over plans for 5G mast in Southampton street I do n't see how you can have a `` proposal '' with `` no consultation '' ?
The normal planning process is being followed is n't it ?
So please Mr Smith , less pot-stirring and more constructive proposals please !

Limited charging was then introduced between 7am and 6pm Monday-Friday and 8am and 6pm on weekends.
The council says it has been monitoring the volume of traffic using the bridge and is bringing in the 24-hour toll to "manage the number of vehicles using the crossing".
Councillor Jacqui Rayment, deputy leader and cabinet member for customer and organisation, said: “During lockdown it was necessary to suspend charges on the Itchen Bridge to protect vulnerable staff while supporting key workers for whom it was necessary to travel into the city.
"Now, as we return to a new normal and traffic levels start to increase, the council has taken the decision to reintroduce the toll charges to manage traffic levels and help with ongoing maintenance costs.”
