Sir – I too, would like to thank the Summertown traffic warden who issued one of last week’s readers a parking ticket for overstaying the time limit by seven minutes — what I assume to be almost 25 per cent of their allotted time.

I used to live in North Oxford, but since moving out to the countryside I frequently pop back into Summertown for shopping and am delighted to hear that the cars are still being encouraged to move on swiftly and leave space for “my type” who can calculate time and appreciate the improvements made to the trade area.
