WITH the completion of Frideswide Square and the redevelopment of the Westgate Centre well under way, attention is deservedly turning to Oxford’s West End.

The next phase is Oxpens and so it is encouraging it and could be finalised as early as next month.

The Civic Society is right in wanting to make sure the different regeneration projects, such as the railway station, Osney power station and the Castle Quarter, are looked at with joined-up thinking and not abstractly. It will result in a truly spectacular West End and a gateway to the city we can be proud of.
