Sir – Now that the council has successfully established Oxford as a car-hostile zone and the parking spaces in St Giles are mostly empty, might it be possible for them to consider reallocation of more space for motorcycle parking.

Motorcycles appear to be growing in popularity and produce much lower emissions than cars and the few motorcycle areas are generally full.

Surely it is time to encourage this much lighter and much greener road use?
