Sir – As frequent visitors to Oxford, we were appalled and totally disheartened at the unacceptable amount of litter that is ruining Oxford city centre.
The High Street, in particular, was a disgrace and this street, surely one of the most beautiful in the country, had disgusting levels of rubbish, most of which were close to the waste bins already provided.
What on earth has gone wrong and why do people do this? Quite frankly, we were positively ashamed to witness this disgraceful exhibition of a couldn’t-care-less attitude by those people who are responsible for such sad acts of anti-social behaviour.
We hope you will print this letter in order to focus our concerns for Oxford. We do not wish our overseas visitors to return home with tales of squalor and filth in its streets.
Michael and Mandy Selhurst, Stow-on-the-Wold
