Sir – I note from your paper that the Oxford Pride festival and parade on June 6 will terminate on Oxpens Field “where there will be entertainment, stalls and music”.
I also note in the same paper that Oxford City Council, the owner of this field, has objected to it becoming a registered town green, as suggested by St Ebbe’s residents, because it wants to see most of it developed.
Do the hundreds, probably thousands, of Oxford Pride supporters realise, I wonder, that if the city council has its way, there will soon be no space left on this field for such joyful events.
No entertainment, no football, no cycle rallies, no circuses, no balloon launches . . . Sorry, no space.
Colin Bridger, Oxford
