Sir – Oxford citizens are currently complaining bitterly about pedestrianisation schemes in central Oxford, and car parking schemes in the suburbs. This comes down to the same problem.

When the county council controls roads, this doesn’t just mean maintenance. The organisation and appearance of the streets of Oxford is Oxford, and it is not within the control of the locally-elected city council, but of outsiders of a different political party who pay scant attention to the results of consultations.
