Sir – I walk along the straight footpath next to Rose Hill Cemetery, from Church Hill Road to Rose Hill most days of the week.

Everyone is short of money but it would be so nice to have a bench to sit down on about halfway along this footpath — preferably not under a tree that drops white spots.

Could Oxford City Council forget it is short of cash — just until the bench is there. Just hoping.
