Sir – We did not agree with all of Laura Barries’s comments (Letters, June 20) about the closing of streets for community events, but how typical of the Green Party to completely miss the point of her letter and to quite happily toe the party line of city council authoritarianism.
The Green lapdogs are quite happy to tag along for the free ride at the expense of the taxpayer, while failing to offer any sane alternatives to the rigid status quo.
They would be better occupied removing all the signs which are still in place four weeks after the Jericho running event took place. Ms Barries was certainly right about that one.
The signs are still posted on all parts of the course, including the area of Port Meadow whose peace and tranquility is completely ruined by the events in question.
Mr and Mrs James Thompson, Oxford
