Sir – It appears that Oxford City Council want to completely kill off the retail trade by systematically closing St Clements, Headington and Summertown car parks.
The idea of a temporary car park on the Marston Road to replace the St Clements site during the proposed development is totally unacceptable as it is much too far from St Clements to be useful.
In Headington, only the small car park in St Leonard’s Road will be left as the majority of side streets in the vicinity are for residents’ parking only.
The council are obviously selling these sites in order to boost their funds, but at what cost? If these car parks close, shoppers will simply go elsewhere.
Clare Richardson, Headington
