SIR – With the announcement of the possibility of A-road speed limits of 60mph being reduced to 20mph in Surrey (report, August 8), and other counties likely to follow, it is only right that the British public is made aware of the intentions of both the Government and local authorities in reducing, and eventually phasing out, our access to personal transport by pricing people out of cars and by making driving such a huge inconvenience that we simply give up.
