I REFER to the article (Oxford Mail, August 27) by the leader of Oxfordshire County Council Ian Hudspeth regarding bus gates and park and ride fines funding wider transport strategy in Oxford.

It is hoped that some of this surplus money from fines can find its way to fund highway and transport improvements and enforcement measures in county villages to the north of the city suffering from the effects of displaced commuters, who choose to park their cars in our streets and cause unwanted local road congestion.
