THE man who saved Trafalgar Square from a 'Dalek invasion' has turned his attentions to Oxford's Local Plan.

North Oxford resident Stephen Fry stopped a block of 'Dalek-like' offices being built in the iconic public square in 1976 after he launched a City Voice newspaper.

More than 40 years on he has launched a website version so people can have their say on Oxford City Council's Local Plan over where developments should be built through to 2036.

The 72-year-old has condensed the council's 107 planning policy proposals into one table and has also collated every public response from a questionnaire circulated last year.

He said: "I knew there was a plan of some kind for Oxford but I was ignorant to what it entailed.

"Not enough people get to hear or think about city planning.

"It's something everyone ought to have a hand in - but it comes across as too difficult to even get to grips with.

He added: "That's not the council's fault, I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the Local Plan and I know they have to put all the information in."

The former secretary of the Soho Society - with which he fought against plans for office blocks in Trafalgar Square - said people needed the information and a medium to collate their ideas and view the opinions of others.

The website includes a 'tag cloud' which illustrates the most used words by people responding to last year's consultation - with 'Oxford', 'housing', 'green' and 'parking' featuring at the top.

It also gathers public opinion on affordable housing, employment development and expansion of schools.

Mr Fry said: "Long ago I helped people in London fight against a development which looked like Daleks by getting a newspaper out.

"Then and now the main need is for information - the more people have information, the more they have the feeling they can really make some difference."

His trip into the technological unknown - with the help of a website creator - has allowed him to form his own opinion.

He said: "It's been an exciting process and it has helped me develop my own opinion and response through reading other people's.

"The most exciting comment was someone suggested rebuilding parts of Oxford that are run down to create four-storey buildings, a lot like Paris.

"Oxford is a world famous iconic city and can be redeveloped to be like cities such as Amsterdam or Frankfurt."

He urged people to log on to City-Voice.org and make use of the information before the deadline for comments on the plan, which is on Friday (August 25).
