Sir – In response to the many letters about proposed library closures. I, too, am incensed.

The solution to me seems simple. Abandon the extensive revamp of Iffley Road.

Whilst re-surfacing, new crossings etc may be desirable it is not essential. When the chips are down it must surely be better to save core services over improving roads.

I imagine this would release enough funds in one blow to save our libraries. (I live by Iffley Road and would far rather keep the county library service intact than have any work done on Iffley Road — I imagine I am not alone).
