It is sad to see that the new look for the small green area next to Oxford Baptist Church has included removing the previous church sign and replacing it with nothing but a row of smart vertical posts.

A place that has been a beacon of hope for many people visiting or on the streets of Oxford, is now crushed into a corner, locked into its pretty architecture and visually cut off from passers-by.

Shame on you planners!
