FOLLOWING your article (Oxford Mail, March 15) in response to Miss Maureen Pitson, also of Wolvercote, who drew attention to the excessive lighting in the empty Borders bookshop, may I add that I wrote to MCR in Manchester questioning why this was happening, in view of carbon footprints and them setting a bad example, hoping for a response.

Sorry to say, I received no reply.

I have now written again, referring to your article.
