I READ with interest the article regarding the Headington subway (Oxford Mail, January 25). Well done to Michael Haines for his continued efforts to try to keep the subway.

The council says 58 per cent of the local people are in favour of removing the subway.

How many people did they actually ask?

Michael Haines has a few thousand signatures on a petition to keep the subway.

These people all signed voluntarily, I might add, and were not accosted by Michael as has been claimed. The ongoing debate over the slope’s steepness is just an excuse.

The reason for doing away with the subway is to make the road wider for a bus lane.

My wife and I use the subway as it is the safest way to cross busy London Road.
