The attack on the statue of King Alfred in Wantage defies belief. The iconic sculpture has represented the town for 130 years. It is not only a symbol of Wantage but also a national symbol. more...
Green councillor Craig Simmons makes an interesting point about secrecy in relation to plans for a proposed incinerator to burn the county's waste. The question of where such an incinerator would go is critical to the debate, yet the decision will be made in secrecy and only a chosen few will know the various options before a decision is made. more...

On Thursday, December 13, my wife and I arranged to be taken to the Thornhill park-and-ride at Headington, Oxford, to catch the 4am Gloucester Green-Gatwick coach. more...
What is the criterion for selecting a Lord Mayor of Oxford? more...
Sir - Referring to Wing Commander A.J. Wright's letter entitled Recognising Efforts (December 21), my husband and I support everything he writes regarding lack of recognition of the enormous work and sacrifice made by Bomber Command members during the Second World War. more...
Sir - We really must take issue with Canon Partridge's statement that the Islamic prayer call is not preaching (Letters, December 21). more...
Sir - As practising Anglicans, and fellow members of the same congregation as Allan and Rachel Chapman, we beg to differ very strongly from their views (Letters, December 14) and those of Daniel Emlyn-Jones (December 28), on the subject of permitting public calls to worship at mosques in Oxford. more...
Sir - As a student of Vernacular architecture I came across the following paragraph in the preface of a book: Cogges Manor Farm, The Excavations from 1986-1994 and the Historic Building Analysis, co-published by Oxfordshire County Council. more...
Sir - Reading the Letters to the Editor for December 21 made me realize that there is no limit to the extent individuals and special interest groups want to get their snouts into the public purse. more...
Sir - Chris Brewer (Letters, December 28) is absolutely right about the barren Bonn Square which is to be foisted upon us. No protests made at the time this design was chosen were taken seriously. more...
Sir - Helen Peacocke definitely has the right idea. Her article Let's work to reduce food waste in 2008 (Weekend, December 28) is a rallying call for all those of us who would like to see sense prevail: an end to waste at home and in the supermarket. Practices by businesses and consumers alike contribute to the sinful situation where perfectly good food is being thrown away. And the pity is, it all adds to the cost. more...
Sir - Oxfordshire County Council has reduced its shortlist of companies bidding for its 25 year waste treatment contract to only proposals for incineration (Report, December 21). The documents for the forthcoming county council debate make interesting reading; while commercial and technical factors are part of the selection criteria, environmental concerns, for example greenhouse gas emissions - which contribute to global warming, don't score. more...
Sir - "Like the reds before them, the greens seek state control of our lives", writes Michael Tyce (Letters, December 21). Poppycock. The Greens have consistently advocated greater decentralisation of state power to regional and local government. more...
Sir - Last month I read with some incredulity your report on the 'illegal' use of the Seacourt park-and-ride lane, which was illustrated with photographs of motorists using it as a short-cut to the Botley Road. more...
Sir - I had assumed that the new drive in the NHS was to empower patients to exercise choice. If this is so it is a message that has escaped the managers at the John Radcliffe Hospital. After receiving excellent medical attention I was given a prescription, which did not require dispensing for several days. more...
Sir - Before Christmas, I wrote to the chief executive of Oxford City Council appealing to him to stop his men blocking paths for the postmen, referring mainly to the narrow paths of terraced houses. I don't suppose this is a problem in Rawlinson Road. The response was unexpected enough to warrant attention by your readers. He explained that blocking the path to the front door is the correct procedure, not only for dustmen but for residents too. This is because it is always the most accessible point nearest to the pavement, and furthermore (for reasons I don't understand) it is unreasonable to call it "blocking" at all. more...
Sir - So Castlemore (through Spring Residential) is now appealing the Jericho Boatyard planning refusal. more...
Sir - While more people shopped on the internet than attended church this Christmas, there can be no doubt that Britain still has a strong Christian heritage. more...
