Sir, I have noted with pleasure Wantage success in the current High Street awards competition, and Ed Vaizey’s praise for our town. However I regret that Mr Vaizey, as our MP, doesn’t seem to care if the Vale planners turn the town into a massive dormitory.

I suspect it will also be a dormitory for the mainly unemployed as there is insufficient infrastructure for either local employment or commuting.
