Sir – Can’t anything be done about the appalling new “architecture” that is springing up in these parts?

The unattractive and ridiculously named “Poets Corner” flats at the lower end of Arnold’s Way, and the peculiar building further up Cumnor Hill on the other side are totally out of keeping with the existing houses. And now a new development of flats next to Botley School, opposite Westminster Way are an absolute eyesore — seldom have I seen such an ugly building.

Why do we pay our council tax for planners to allow such monstrosities?
