WHEN I first moved to Barton I made a study of all the street names on the estate.
I was asked by Oxford City Council to provide proposed names for the new estate.
I made a list of more than 60 names with a little history behind them.
I forwarded it to the council and heard nothing since.
They have already made up their minds and involved the community just as a gesture to make people think they are being involved in the naming of the new estate.
The whole area should be known as Barton Village.
