Sir – Re. Oxford City Council’s planning application email notification system, at least local residents get this option!

Here in Kidlington, Cherwell District Council can’t even be bothered to do this, and you can only think it’s a way to cut residents out of the planning process, as your correspondent Mr Nicholls found to his cost!

I cannot believe it would cost Cherwell much money to do this, and would be interested to hear their excuses.
