Letter: Turn of the year

Sir: Is it not time the authorities in London looked into an organised event for New Year's Eve? Year after year we have the police asking for people not to attend the annual gathering at Trafalgar Square, and this is ignored by thousands. It is time for our great capital city to follow the lead of Edinburgh and organise an event, perhaps in Hyde Park, with screens showing Big Ben, live music and maybe even the London Mayor.
