• THE July 24 Extra covers plans for the temporary pedestrianisation of Seven Dials, (Seven Dials’ seven-day ‘pedestrianisation’, July 24).

The report says “Seven Dials is in conversation with the council about relaxing licensing laws…”

It is difficult to see how a historic neighbourhood can be “in conversation” with anyone.

The trust or, say, Shaftesbury plc could be, but not a neighbourhood as they don’t speak!
