Sir - I was distressed to read (Report, March 9) of the proposed business park to be built in the Pear Tree area and particularly by city council leader John Goddard's remark that the fields are "currently not doing much".
What does a field have to do? Well, it feeds sheep and cattle, is home to wildflowers and attracts skylarks. This to me is a better welcome into Oxford than a business park.
If one travels westward along the A303, just before Stonehenge, there has sprung up Solstice Park, not dissimilar, I should imagine, to that proposed for Oxford. It is a real eyesore in a beautiful area. Need I say more.
