Open to ideas over access to cemetery

10:00am Wednesday 8th May 2013

Sir – After investigating the issue of access by car to Tower Hill Cemetery, I am pleased to be able to reassure people that parking is available for visitors without having to leave the big double car gates open at all times.

St George's parade did us proud

10:00am Wednesday 1st May 2013

Sir – Having enjoyed seeing Witney’s Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts taking part in their St George’s Day parade at Church Green, I would like to say how proud the town should be of these dedicated children and their leaders.

Different perspectives

10:00am Wednesday 1st May 2013

Sir– With reference to the letter from James Mawle, headed ‘Informed decisions’ (last week’s Gazette), Mr Mawle could be said to have helped, or could be blamed for, the derailing of the Cogges Link Road, depending on your perspective.

Voting feels like a shot in the dark

10:00am Wednesday 1st May 2013

Sir – I have just received my postal vote pack for tomorrow’s Oxfordshire County Council elections for Burford and North Carterton.

Wrong environment for housing

10:00am Wednesday 1st May 2013

Sir – As a Carterton resident your correspondent, Paul Hughes (last week’s Gazette) must surely know that the proposed Carterton East housing development will be located within 500 metres of the Aircraft Servicing Platform at RAF Brize Norton.

Sir – Thoughts from a grumpy old woman on a planning faux-pas.

Please cherish our woodland walk

10:00am Wednesday 1st May 2013

Sir – Thanks to the dedication of the Witney Woodland Volunteers, with help from West Oxfordshire District Council and Witney Town Council, we now have a stretch of maturing woodland running alongside Deer Park Road, acting as a buffer of green tranquil quietness bordering the industrial estate.

Law bars new Thames bridge

10:00am Wednesday 24th April 2013

Sir – Your call for a 21st century replacement for Swinford Toll Bridge is wishful thinking.

Leafleting not wanted in Witney
