Sir – I refer to the story in last week’s edition suggesting that a congestion charge was being considered for Oxford.
It being Wimbledon at the moment, the phrase ‘you cannot be serious’ springs to mind. Oxford is already one of the most inaccessible places to visit, and one which I currently only attempt to enter when absolutely necessary, particularly when there are alternatives, such as Newbury, which is easy to get to and has reasonable parking charges and a better shopping offer.
Add a congestion charge to Oxford’s inaccessibility and its exorbitant parking charges, and I doubt I’d ever bother to visit again.
