Leader

I spy in the High

MP for Henley-in-limbo

WE should not be surprised by the decision of Boris Johnson to go for the Conservative nomination as candidate for Mayor of London. It is without doubt a big political job, and clearly bigger than being an opposition spokesman in the Commons.  more...

Letters

Housing proposals have enormous implications

Sir - On the front page (July 6) you report on a number of proposals for new settlements in Oxfordshire.  more...

Avoid High Street

Sir - Summer is a coming in, loudly sing cuckoo. How do I know this? Why because they are digging up High Street again. Actually Magdalen Bridge and some of The Plain. Thank you Oxford, whoever it is.  more...

Good value boxes

Sacrificing links

Sir - Residents in East Oxford are concerned at the prospect of buses being diverted through residential streets while St Clements and The Plain are re-surfaced later this month, and have asked for bus routes to be diverted and curtailed. This move would leave the area with no bus service at all and much of the city with a much reduced service.  more...

Co-operation on buses

Sir - It must be many years ago now that Mrs Thatcher allowed us to have competition between bus companies, a facility which hardly any citizens wanted and which few towns took up. I am pleased to report a co-operative incident last week. A number 4 bus stopped at Queen's Lane to change drivers, as they often do, but the new driver was not available.  more...

Realities of the world

Sir - As a scientist and a practising Christian in Oxford, I wish that the various denominations would listen more to the inalienable truths of science, because science has such an important role in the proper interpretation of scripture.  more...

Wall must come down

Ramping up tax

Tax on bags

Sir - London councils are asking the Government to place a 10p tax on plastic carriers. Shouldn't we be seeing the same in Oxfordshire?  more...

Planning ahead

Sir - Whether it is the location of the thousands of new houses which will be required to be built in Oxfordshire, or the location of wind turbines, or waste disposal facilities, all reported recently in The Oxford Times and discussed on the comment page, the planning system has never been more important to our futures and the understanding of sustainable development.  more...

Democracy unheard

Sir - I have always been given to understand that Oxfordshire was part of an inclusive democracy which made provision for all of those of different abilities. Having just come from a planning meeting of the county council concerning the controversial issue of Radley Lakes, I have had to revise my opinion.  more...

Course challenge

Sir - Having nearly completed the same two-year certificate part-time course in History and English as Bob Warburton, one of 'the oldest students around' (July 6), I should like to add my own comment on the high level of teaching and inspiration provided by the course and its tutors.  more...
