Letter: Hold-ups on the way to a car-free paradise (1)

Published 11 June 2025

From Sam Edge, Ringwood, Hampshire, UK

I couldn’t agree more on the need to reduce town centre traffic. In the UK, motoring bodies like the Automobile Association and Royal Automobile Club tend to resist efforts to cut car use. In Germany, the equivalent body, the ADAC, does the same. At least in Germany there is the ADFC, which pushes back on behalf of cyclists. Perhaps it is time for a UK Royal Pedestrian Club and a Cyclists’ Association(24 May, p 22).
