Sir, After a recent bad fall in Lostock Place on the Ladygrove estate in Didcot, I enquired at Didcot Civic Hall office as to who was responsible for the maintenance in this area. Immediately they were able to inform me it did not come under the jurisdiction of Didcot Town Council.

However, they were unable, for some reason known only to themselves to provide me with the details as to who exactly was. Not to be deterred, I enquired with Oxfordshire County Council, who amazingly had this information to hand: Deal Varney, St Luke’s House, Oxford Street, Newbury RG14 1JQ. Gerry Copps on 01635 550211 deals with the Didcot area.

Due to the poor maintenance of this area and just in case another person enquires after an injury, would the town mayor please be good enough to ensure our town hall updates its records and the information is readily available to the Ladygrove residents.

Ann Paterson (Mrs)
