Sir - May I enlist the help of your legally-qualified readers to determine whether I have a case against Oxford City Council for misrepresenting Cornmarket as a pedestrian zone?

Last Friday, at 10am I walked the length of the street and during the five minutes it took I was overtaken by four private cars and six trucks. They and I also had to manoeuvre around three parked delivery vehicles.

As I reached the Magdalen Street end, I was almost bowled over by a speeding cyclist. It was some relief to turn into George Street and find no traffic at all!
