DEMOCRACY has given in to monopoly on the London Road, Headington.

I do understand the concerns of the Liberal Democrats of Headington about the potholes in the London Road.

However have they not noticed the big white elephant that has taken over a majority of retail units on the London Road, pushing out local diverse businesses.

They even have forced out Peacocks, which means locals now have to go elsewhere for what they sold. The big boys want a piece of every pie and are prepared to fight it out in our local community to get it.
