A FEW years ago, in letter to the Oxford Mail, I said that those councillors responsible for the Cornmarket fiasco should have had their genitals removed and pickled in a jar.

In the light of the errors made by councillors granting planning permission for those rather tall student accommodation blocks at Roger Dudman Way, I think I will refrain from putting my empty jars into the recycling bin this week. There’s nothing like planning ahead.
