Noisy cars should be monitored at weekends
Totally agree there should be a clampdown on noisy cars - especially needs to be monitored in Harrogate during weekends.
This is not the first time action has been promised but monitoring not kept up. Police would find a hefty contribution towards funds if they were fined.

Noisy cars 'constant' on Harrogate Road
I live next to Harrogate Road. Cars are constantly coming over High Bridge accelerating to hit the double carriage section.
The noise is at times deafening with the back firing, which seems to be the fashion.The speed which they travel up the road is way past the speed limit and you hear them throttle back when reaching the bollards opposite the Care Building on the right.
Why they do it beats me, because you usually catch them up at the lights on Bogs Lane. The police, you never see them.

Boris Johnson better than the alternative
In response to Paul Baverstock’s latest Strayside Sunday column, although Boris Johnson was not a perfect Prime Minster at least he is not Jeremy Corbyn or Keir Starmer.

Waiting on Gateway consultation
We’ve read more than once that there will be a third consultation regarding this ghastly scheme.
Could you please publish the details of this consultation in your pages as we would all like to know exactly what form it’s taking and who exactly is being consulted as we don’t know of anyone who was on the first and second ones.
It’s a dreadful scheme and we’d like a chance to give our opinions.
Brian and Tricia Preston, Harrogate
