Although I welcome Tory councillor Ted Kemble's support for the redesign of the Valley Gardens area, creating a "green heart" for the city centre, (The Argus, April 15), I'm puzzled.
Can this be the same Ted Kemble who refused to support funding from the local transport plan for a feasibility study into the Valley Gardens schemes at a recent environment committee?
In fact, all of the Tories on the committee refused to support the whole of the 2007-08 local transport plan which included this scheme.
The plan also included £1 million to be spent on road safety measures to tackle the city's most dangerous junctions, £110,000 for more dropped kerbs and tactile paving, and £500,000 for renewing street lighting.
