Sir – Interesting that Labour members support Oxpens Meadow becoming a Town Green. If Labour had not voted for the intensively car-based Westgate commercial expansion by Capital Shopping, Oxpens Meadow would not have been under recent threat. Locally, as nationally, Labour party members are vociferous in their support for green solutions on the ground.
Behind the scenes, in larger and more far-reaching ways they vote en masse for anti-environmental development proposals.
