Sir – City council leader Bob Price declares that Port Meadow is “untouchable” (Is Green Belt set to be breached for homes? The Oxford Times, online, June 24).

That’s priceless, coming after his city council has already ruined Port Meadow with the university blocks fiasco, and after he dismissed residents’ anger, saying he didn’t know why they were “so exercised”.

I’m sure we can look forward to further priceless gems now Bob Price has taken over responsibility for city development, from Colin Cook, who described the Port Meadow blocks as “a storm in a teacup”.

They clearly share the common touch. Cheers, Bob!
