I wanted to give either the Commissioner or the Chair an opportunity perhaps to amend a false impression that has been created in the media recently that the police are in some way opposed to traffic calming. Certainly my post-bag tells me that this is an issue that people are very anxious about in the community; I think Jenny is absolutely right about that.
