Reader Paul Ballard-Whyte has written this letter to the Oxford Mail following a spate of incidents in the Oxfordshire town of Banbury.
There seems to be a never-ending run of very bad stories, events, incidents, stabbings, attacks etc coming out of Banbury this year.
I don't know the town very well but is it the terrible place all these recent press reports are making it look?
If so, then it's time the people and the council and the MP need to get together and start making a constructive plan!
Paul Ballard-Whyte, Oxford
