From Pamela Manfield, The Narth, Monmouthshire, UK
While I worry about excessive car use, let’s not forget that only in cities or large towns would you have a choice of alternative methods of transport if car use were to be made more costly. In rural areas, an affordable car is vital, as public transport is limited or non-existent. You could have food delivered, but you can’t get to a doctor or dentist without a car (Letters, 3 February).
