may I use the letters page to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me over the Horspath war memorial fiasco. The support I have received from the Oxford Mail, the bbc radio and tv and the public has been fantastic. I said last week that I would remove the memorial on Wednesday, November 12, but with so many people coming to look at it – and apparently more intend coming to look this week – I will now remove it on Saturday evening.
Regarding Horspath Parish Council, due to public pressure and all the publicity this has generated, they have at last used common sense which is what they should have used in the first place.
