Sir – Congratulations to that fine German-owned retailer Aldi for at last being given the go-ahead to build a store in Didcot.

No doubt the townsfolk of Didcot will ‘look forward to the opening’ but I hope they have more room to manoeuvre than those of us who endure the shopping ‘assault course’ in the Botley Road store.

As previously requested, I hope that Aldi invest in expanding their Oxford store – otherwise I fear they’ll become a victim of their own popularity.

Paul Lumley, North Oxford
