Sir – I have noticed recently that the lights in the new parking section at Thornhill park-and-ride are switched off late at night.

I understand the need to save electricity but I think it would be possible to install some motion-activated lights in this area.

I prefer to park in this area as it is so close to the coach stop and I often travel back to Thornhill on the Oxford Tube arriving at about 1am, usually alone, and do not like having to walk into this dark void late at night.

It reminds me of the ‘bad old days’ when Thornhill was not lit at all but surely we have moved on from that.
