Sir – As a Summertown resident and non car-owner, may I add my support to the plea for upgraded bus access to the new Waitrose store, when it opens in Headington.

Fortunately, in Summertown, access to quality food shopping is not a major issue, as we already have an excellent Marks & Spencer and the Sainsbury’s store at Kidlington roundabout is only a shortish bus journey away.

Nevertheless, the prospect of another quality food retailer opening in Oxford will arouse keen anticipation and the question of accessibility is one that the bus companies need seriously to address.
