Build near London

3:36pm Friday 4th July 2008

When one considers that hundreds of people travel to and from their work in London every day, by both road and rail, it seems obvious that house building should be concentrated in or near London, not in inappropriate places in the countryside.

Spray dangers

6:54pm Wednesday 2nd July 2008

I agree wholeheartedly with Tony Anchors's letter about the indiscriminate spraying of weedkillers by councils and the damage it causes to beautiful verges and wild flowers (Oxford Mail, June 19).

Don't buy a house by a river

6:53pm Wednesday 2nd July 2008
