I VERY much welcome the positive change of heart from Witney Town Council over the future of West Witney Sports and Social Club (Wednesday’s Oxford Mail).

Their keenness to talk and willlingness to listen to those of us who use the club is a great relief after many years of having to deal with a brick wall.

The club and sports facilities remain an essential asset and it is certainly in the town’s best interest for the club to be given the investment it needs and the security of knowing that its current site can remain its home for many more years to come.
