Sir – Mrs Lewis (letter, September 16) is right to express outrage at the new Oxford Airport hangar on Campsfield Road. It is 120m long, 37m wide and 13.5m high. Cherwell District Council rejected this site in the Green Belt for a hangar four years ago
Sir – Thousands of Oxfordshire residents have been kept awake and deprived of any sleep. A Cassington “Farewell to the Field” rave, licensed, according to Thames Valley Police (who knew, yet didn’t mitigate the din) and environmental health in Oxford

Sir – The proposed local transport plan is (probably) to do nothing for a while. No money, you see. Lots of grand ideas for the future, but not yet. We’ll just have to let congestion and pollution get worse for a bit. But as we have seen over the last
Sir – Last Saturday night I was kept awake until way past dawn by non-stop bass drumbeats. They would occasionally fade, only to start up again with the same monotonous rhythm. About 5.30am I got up, dressed and went out with my imaginary shotgun to
