Gant refused to reply.So this Liberal Democrat Council is less open & less responsive to the community than is Network Rail.The arrogance is extraordinary & I will never accept it. If you agree please email him saying you would like to know his answers to the points raised in my letter of 14 January

Just so tired of it all. Not just this project but the number of simultaneous huge development projects in Oxford, which 1) mostly don't benefit we who live here 2) are hugely disruptive 3) will add to congestion and housing shortage 4) are without exception, ugly, banal, out of scale.

Businesses will close. Jobs will go. The disabled will be imprisoned in their homes. For four years! It is utterly intolerable. The fight is only just beginning.

And asked if he would resign if the new deadline was missed, the minister Lord Hendy, till recently chair of Network Rail, said no - because somebody else might be to blame. These people don't seem to understand roadworks, or politics, or leadership.

Thank you. The project NetworkHell.co.uk has been quite educational for me. Good and bad.

It's hilarious to see such fawning and such cynical maneuvering, reminiscent of the Potimken's famous villages. But it's also absolutely infuriating. The dangerous mess which was good enough for us for two whole years is not good enough for half an hour's visit by his lordship. They disgust me.

"It is incredibly depressing how little thought went in to what a catastrophic impact this would have on so many lives."

"Thank you so much for doing this. I ended up leaving my job (NHS) because the impact on my commute became unsustainable although I kept going for the first year. I've met another NHS worker who had to leave their post as a direct result.......

I hardly dare ask, but what are 'adult scholastic books'? For that matter, what are ' children's scholastic books'?

We also show how the closure has added to congestion and bus journey times across Oxford, cost the local economy £20m, and the taxpayer c £100m. Network Rail is massively incompetent, secretive, arrogant and unaccountable. Network Rail won't even say who's in charge of the project!

So we bought together our own account of how badly the closure is damaging the 25,000 people on the west side of the barricade. Available for free at www.networkhell.co.uk. graphics statements by 32 local people show how the disabled and small businesses have been particularly badly hit.
