Yawning gap between Botley's needs and Doric's shops centre scheme
YOU report that Doric, the company behind the controversial £100m development in Botley, has signed an agreement with construction company Mace.
This gigantic sum is a reminder, if one were needed, of how grotesque the mismatch is between Doric’s proposals and the real needs of Botley’s residents.
The recent confirmation that Vale of White Horse District Council intends to impose this universally unpopular plan through compulsory purchase shows that the obstinacy of local politicians is out of touch with local realities.
