Sir – 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?
