A century of stories

IT'S a tale to gladden the heart of any child. Well, let's make that any precocious youngster with a taste for Edwardian eccentrics, prima donna artists and a finely tuned sense of irony.  more...

Getting to know Rioja

My general knowledge is truly terrible. I never, ever win at Trivial Pursuits and I would struggle to get beyond £1,000 on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? I just don't retain information that I don't find interesting. Still, if I were 15 wine questions away from a case of 2000 Château Pétrus, I reckon I'd be in with a pretty good shot.  more...

Leader

Buses come first

IT is early to start judging Oxfordshire County Council's £3m plan to improve conditions at Headington shops and on the main road into and out of the city through this area. There are, however, a number of issues that jump instantly to mind.  more...

Letters

Sacrifice of councillor

I would like to say a big thank-you to city councillor Bob Timbs for all his hard work and time spent with me on Bullingdon play area in Oxford, on the Saturday of the Cup Final, when local youths trashed the children's playground, stopping parents with young ones playing.  more...

Tia, try getting out more

David Cameron should have thought twice before allowing Tia MacGregor to join the Conservatives ranks.  more...

Unstinting work

I am writing to compliment the Oxford Tenant Participation Team members on their hard work and dedication in recent months, in particular, Andy, Allison and Val.  more...

Teething problems

Sir - I was sad to read that your correspondent Isabel Pack had not room in her blue bin for two weeks' worth of material. I understand that blue wheelie bins are available for those for whom a box is too small.  more...

Parking zone still challenged

Sir - Despite recent reports in the local press the introduction of the controlled parking zone in North Summertown is not yet a closed chapter.  more...

Reactor would be terrorist target

Sir - Nuclear power cannot help us to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions. To do so, a new reactor would have to be built approximately once a week from now until 2050. This is clearly impossible. Even if it were possible to build at such a rate, the capacity of the International Atomic Energy Authority to control the spread of nuclear weapons technology would fail.  more...

Making changes

Sir - In the last fortnight there has been a significant tariff change at Oxford station car park.  more...

Creating congestion

Sir - In reply to John McGhee 's letter (June 1), at the bottom of the A34 is the docks on the south coast, mainly Southampton.  more...

Naked streets

Sir - Kate Lack and A Williams wrote criticizing pedestrians for using the streets in Oxford city centre.  more...

Recycling cracked

Sir - Am I the only person who finds it difficult to remember which type of waste disposal is due to be collected on which day? I doubt it.  more...

Sorry mess

Sir - When we had weekly rubbish collections a lorry came and took everything.  more...

Thinking required

Sir - Isabel Pack (Letters, May 25) is right to say that making extra recycling bins and boxes available does help improve recycling rates. It is a vital part of any successful scheme. But it is not enough, on its own, to encourage everyone to do as much as they can to recycle.  more...

Parking challenged

Sir - A fortnight ago, Sunnymead residents called on Oxford City Council to arrange a Referendum so that they might test the strength of feeling in this area against the imposition of a North Summertown Controlled Parking Zone. We were told then that, unlike those villages that have parish councils, we have no right to such a privilege.  more...

Unacceptable muddle

Sir - Congratulations on your leader of June 1, highlighting the threat to Oxford's green spaces.You illustrate clearly the dangers we face if in considering a core strategy for the city's future we move prematurely to designate for housing-development areas which in their present state make an essential contribution to Oxford's character and amenities, on which its future welfare and hence prosperity depend.  more...

Protected fields

Sir - You describe a meeting held in the Church Hall of Summertown, on May 23, considering a proposal for housing on land between Summerfield School and the River Cherwell, a part of a new demand for a core strategy to 2026 by the Government.  more...

Brighter future

Sir - First, the facts: no decision has been made to close any play areas in Oxford. And I, for one, will be working to make sure all well-used play areas survive and thrive.  more...

Intellectual freedom

Sir - Anyone who values free speech and democracy will welcome last week's court ruling against Thames Valley police for attempting to stifle the legitimate protest against Oxford University by opponents of its new animal lab.  more...

Bishop enthroned

Sir - I'm not sure whether it is part of the tide of secularisation of the church but I was unimpressed to see (Report, June 1) that the 42nd Bishop of Oxford is to be inaugurated this Friday.  more...

Enormous comfort

Sir - In light of last week's front page item about a message from Allah appearing in a tomato, you may like to know that I am currently growing my own range of Faith-based vegetables on my allotment.  more...
