Station Redevelopment – Oxpens Option

Letter to the Oxford Times

23 April 2013

Your articles last week promoting the concept of an integrated bus and train station for Oxford were both welcome and timely. What you didn’t mention was that in 2004 the County Council, with some real foresight gave consideration to a new, re-located station nearer to the ice rink. This solution had many advantages over the reconstruction of the station at the now even-more cramped existing site.

Covered Market Rents

We are concerned that high rents will irreparably damage the character of the Covered Market

25 April 2012

The Covered Market is a unique and historic place, in a key location at the heart of the city’s commercial centre. It contributes to the commercial success of our city by providing to all its communities a diverse and sometimes unusual range of goods and services. We believe there is a threat to the character of the Market from rents that are unaffordable for smaller, local and independent traders.
