IN Our View (Oxford Mail, July 10), you mention that “The 600 signatures on a petition opposing the plan (to cancel free bus transport) is not a huge number”.
In fairness, the petition was only launched fewer than 48 hours before your article, and signatures are continuing to come in at a rate of 300 per day.
It’s also worth noting that according to the council’s highly questionable assumptions, there would be savings of £340,000, but not for at least six years. In the interim, rather than saving money, these proposals will actually cost the taxpayer.
