• READERS may assist in solving a conundrum. Dean Street in Soho is one way but since al fresco began large numbers of cyclists, often motorised and very fast, travel the wrong way including when the street is “closed” from 5pm to 11pm weekdays and noon to 11pm weekends.

The conundrum is, the more cyclists there are the more police there are, and the more police the more cyclists there are disobeying the law.

The police take no action and on Monday evening I and a neighbour stopped a police car and asked why they were ignoring motorised cyclists whizzing past them.

We were told they were not trained to deal with cyclists. The same question put to some of the plethora of police walking round Soho elicits no action.

Shortly after I moved to Dean Street my elderly neighbour Adele was knocked down by a bike going to wrong way in Dean Street and never quite recovered.
