I am writing to thank you for the article about the St Clement’s car park redevelopment.

I am a local trader, with a clothes and gift shop in Cowley Road, and I believe this plan will greatly affect our business if it goes ahead.

It is common knowledge that many small businesses are finding it hard at the moment in this recession, and we are no exception.

We need to inform as many people who live, work and shop in the St Clement’s area about this disastrous plan, so they can object formally before November 18.
