REFERENCE the article ‘They park here and then commute to London’, (March 9) this is a growing problem for Risinghurst residents as well as the businesses on the Roundway.

I often return home, perhaps with a load of shopping in the rain, and find I cannot park outside my home. I often see them arrive early in the morning - commuters are easy to spot often with suits and briefcases walking rapidly off in the direction of the nearby bus stops for London or Oxford; some arrive with bicycle strapped to the car boot or folded up inside and pedal off to Oxford or Thornhill Park and Ride.

I think they are doing nothing illegal but it often causes inconvenience for residents. Not the biggest problem in Oxford but I think it won’t be long before there are calls for residents’ parking which may turn out to be the lesser of two evils.
