Sir – The potential to redesign the whole of the West End of the city gives scope for some radical solutions to some of Oxford’s problems.

Firstly, a superb theatre and concert hall could be built on the site of the Westgate multi-storey car park with a large underground car park for the use of shoppers and theatregoers alike.

This would replace the New Theatre, releasing that site for an attractive redevelopment of Gloucester Green.

Secondly, long-distance buses could be relocated to the Oxpens area, with a shuttle bus running on a continuous loop via the station, the theatre, the Westgate and Gloucester Green for the benefit of all.
