Sir – I am dismayed, but not surprised, by the council’s proposal to close the car park at Summertown in order to redevelop the site.

Meanwhile, I await with interest hearing where the mysterious car park is that we may use instead. Clearly the councillors have no concept whatsoever of people’s need to be able to park legally near shops, doctors’ practices, library, etc.

In fact so oblivious are they, of what might be considered a normal requirement for normal people, unlike councillors, that they could almost be confused with politicians.
