Sir – I am writing concerning Abingdon. Over the last years we have had bad press about Abingdon, but I think there is good news.

The flowers in the Abbey Grounds and in the town are fabulous and well worth coming to Abingdon to see.

Well done to all the workers for their hard work but there is one downside — poor old Queen Victoria in the Abbey Grounds needs a wash.

Is there any chance she can get a wash?
