Sir - After reading the headline Beware the new double red lines' I still can't believe the county council thinks that trying to put more people on unreliable public transport is the answer.

With the implication of red routes this will only further the congestion and make even more of Worcester's already road-raged drivers angry.

I think the city has far too many traffic lights, which does not help the situation in Worcester. When the lights don't work in the city centre the traffic flows like water. Forget the silly red routes and spend our money, sorry the budget, on removing needless traffic lights to end congestion.
