I HOPE all your readers will use their vote on Thursday, May 3, whoever they support. There is nothing more precious that the right to decide who governs our daily lives.

Democracy has its faults. But it is infinitely better that the alternatives; dictatorship or fighting each other in the street. Each person’s opinion counts and the ballot box is our chance to have our say.

JOHN TANNER

City Council Board Member for a Clean and Green Oxford
