SOON it will be election time once more and doors will be knocked upon by election hopefuls.

No matter which political party knocks on my door, all will be most welcome.

It takes a lot of nerve to knock on a stranger’s door and political candidates are worthy of a polite response and respect.

So please be sure to be polite and welcoming if a candidate knocks on your door, even if you will not be voting for their party.

All political parties have good people working for them and Oxford is blessed with many talented and industrious councillors of all political persuasions.

SUSAN THOMAS, Magdalen Road, Oxford
