A Christmas wish - councillors and traders call for Belfast bus lanes to be relaxed for festive Saturday shoppers

Only 35 more days left until Christmas and that means you'll have to get used to sitting in traffic jams as shoppers flock to Belfast for a festive bargain. So is it time to open up the bus lanes to cars in the run up to the big day? Would that not make sense to keep the traffic flowing? Councillors and traders in Belfast have called for the rules to be relaxed on Saturdays over the next six weeks so that consumers can drive to the shops without worrying about fines or congestion. Stephen got the views of environmental journalist Jeff Gazzard and travel writer Heidi McAlpin.
