GREAT photo and sentiment from Oxford City Council and Old Marston Parish Council (August 24) regarding their claim that graffiti problems within Oxford are diminishing.

However the worst eyesore in Old Marston wasn't mentioned in the feature. This is a disused 1980s’ (?) style chrome and plastic BT telephone box. It has been vandalised, subjected to graffiti, used as a urinal, and is situated near the subway (mentioned in the feature) on the cycle track at Marston Ferry Road.

Hundreds of cyclists and pedestrians pass it daily. Despite years of local complaints, parish council correspondence and promises it has equalled no action by BT means that it still remains in situ dirty?
