Sir – Surely Oxford Brookes would not inflict an out-of-scale monstrosity on their Headington neighbours just to “give the university the commanding presence in Headington that it has long craved”? (Brookes unveils vision of landmark, November 13) But wait a minute, isn’t that exactly what they did with the student residence tower in Wheatley?
History is supposed to repeat itself the second time as farce, but I can’t see the residents of Headington laughing once this “landmark” looks down on them.
