I am writing concerning Doric’s plans for Botley. I think Doric should really listen to the locals, after all it is they who will use the facilities, and they who will have the say on the lasting success of this project.

Looking at the plans from an outsider’s view, although I was born and lived in the city for part of my life, I think the plans are over the top.

Yes, I agree it could do with a little tender loving care, but what is proposed and the cost is obscene.

Let us just look at traffic without taking into account the not required elements of this project.

Today’s letters

Most times of the day one crawls along an already very busy road, so what will it be like when this is up and running?

Some “bright spark” has thought of all the extra people it will attract, and needs to help justify it – without taking into account the air quality in that area will become very poor indeed and not good for residents.
