The letters about too many traffic lights in Kendal (Leters, March 30) were written from a driver's angle. What about the way a pedestrian might look at it, in terms of how to try to cross the road? Or don't pedestrians count any more?
Many of us are daft enough to use our legs to get into town. Legs are those things at the lower end of your body. If you put one in front of the other you will move forward.
Kendal is no worse than most other towns for lights that I have been to. Why don't these people complaining about Kendal's traffic admit that there are just too many cars in our town centre and that a lot of them need not be there at all.
We should be trying to reduce the number of cars on our town's streets.
I do own a car myself but try not to use it unless I have to. I do not want to start wearing a mask to walk into town just because Jo Bloggs insists on taking his car into town, even if there is no real need to.
