Haven’t Doric’s plans for Botley now become a running joke? Every so often they announce an upcoming revised version, then it’s delayed, then it turns up with hardly an alteration – a metre lower here or there, a few more or less students.

Every time they claim to have consulted local interests. Yet the overall scheme still has the grotesque over-the-top dimensions and destructiveness that local residents have protested against all along.

When will sanity prevail?
