Cllr Brighouse (Oxford Mail, 27 July) claims I cannot be minded to support residents' parking charges (as I did in September 2004) and also be open-minded. I am open-minded because I also supported consulting residents, so I will not make up my mind until the consultation is complete.
Now I await the views of the public. Many disapprove; some support charges - particularly if there were to be improvements in the administration. Others feel that it is unfair to give free parking in the City Centre on Sundays (at considerable cost since Control Plus still has to enforce the Free-but-Display regulations), while residents may be charged.
Yours sincerely
Cllr Dermot Roaf
