6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – Thank you for publicising our campaign to reduce the speed limit past Cherwell School (January 14th).
Too simple to be true
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – Jeremy Mogford is, and always has been, absolutely right about the appalling volume of bus traffic in St Aldates and The High (Report, January 21).
Appalling reception
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – Not for the first time, James Elles MEP has hit the nail on the head.
Lack of communication
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – I would like to add my voice to your paper’s comments and those of James Elles MEP concerning the sorry state of mobile phone reception in rural Oxfordshire.
Many joys of rural life
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – There are many joys to be had in living in rural north west Oxfordshire, between Woodstock and Chipping Norton, but decent mobile and broadband strengths are not ones. James Elles’ points are well made.
Undemocratic system
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010

Relative standards

Ridiculous waste
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – Pamela Vivian is exactly to the point in indicating that incineration of waste is a dead policy, especially given recently improved rates of recycling (Letters, January 28). I would add that incineration is a ridiculous waste of resources.
Free-for-all must stop
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – Whilst Ken Weavers has a valid point, that people ought to be able to do some of the separation of recyclable materials (Letters, January 28) the council faces a dilemma: many people see recycling as unnecessary and a bother.
Two good ideas
6:50am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – Two good ideas for Oxford in one week! The suggestions of the Crown Estate taking over Westgate and city council compulsory purchase of the Jericho boatyard are developments in the right direction.
Time to pay to park
7:00am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – I moved into Witney from a nearby village because I wished to leave my car at home and to walk to work.
Search for airman’s past
7:00am Thursday 4th February 2010
Sir – My name is Mike Kleinlugtebeld, 39, and I live in a town named Zwolle in the county of Overrijssel in the east of the Netherlands. I am researching the air war in and around my home town during the Second World War.
