From V. McKenzie:-I AGREE with all the Bowlers (Mailbox, October 12) say regarding the necessary freedom for children to be able to play near their own homes, but cars aren't our masters. I am a senior citizen and a car owner and live in a narrow road in Harrison Drive where children play, and I suggest that more such roads should be closed to general traffic or be designated one-way streets.

Arthritic but not yet an orange badge holder, I could be tempted on to public transport if it was frequent and reliable, but children must come first.

Bangor Road,

Wallasey.
