Sir – I would be grateful if Oxford City Council could explain its decision to increase parking charges at the Seacourt park-and-ride by a whopping 25 per cent?
There doesn’t seem to be any obvious justification for such a large rise and it feels like a case of the council taking more money from people who are powerless to do anything about it. Some would argue that the council should be encouraging us to park outside the city by making park-and-rides free of charge, or very cheap, but they seem to regard them more as a ‘cash cow’ providing easy pickings from people who, I suspect, are often the least able to afford it.
