TOO many streets in Oxfordshire are given generic street names.

There are those that take their names from birds like Warbler Walk or Moorhen Walk in Blackbird Leys or plants like Lily Close or Primrose Drive in Bicester.

So we applaud Littlemore Parish Council’s suggestion to name a new street in the proposed East Minchery Farm development after former parish councillor Les Denny who was dedicated to the area in which he lived.

Streets should be named after people who have really contributed to the area and made a difference like Mr Denny.
