Bonn Square has been for a long time an eyesore. It’s a problem that has
generated many pages of letters in the Oxford Mail, Oxford Times, Oxford
Prospect Magazine and on BBC Radio Oxford.
I find it ironic that someone has decided to protest now at the implementation
of this democratically decided decision to transform Bonn Square from a dowdy
and grim part of Oxford City Centre into something we can all be proud of.
There has been plenty of opportunity to lobby in a democratic manner your local
councillor with your preferred solution to the Bonn Square problem.
The Council giving in to this protestor would be undemocratic, it is up to such
protestors to become fully involved in the local democratic process, this means
not only complaining about a problem, but coming up with a workable and
affordable solution, that will win democratic support.
