FOLLOWING the piece in last Thursday’s Oxford Mail, I would like to comment on what should have been included in the facelift of the ice rink .

My wife took our grandaughters for their lessons on a Saturday last month, and noticed that the ladies toilets were disgusting.

The bench area where they put their skates on, meanwhile, is the same as it was 15 years ago. Why was it not freshened up? It surely would not have cost too much.

Barbara Gatehouse said it felt great to be back and that she was glad it was not looking shabby.

There is, however, still a lot that needs to be done.

The car parking charges of a minimum of £5 on a Saturday are also rather high for a two-hour skating session. Surely this could be reviewed.
