SIR, To help G.

Procter make his or her mind up as to the permanence of the alleged new "improvements" to the Kendal Traffic System (Letters, April 12), may I quote J.J.

LeFevre who was the Borough Surveyor in 1968 when the one-way system was introduced to Kendal "for an experimental period".

He said at the time: "I think we will have this system with us for quite a considerable time - possibly three or four years."
