What a cheek

Sir - Pat Whitehouse has a cheek suggesting the proposed Hindu temple be built in Cumnor (Letter, August 8). Having lived in Headington, I would tend to agree that it is already overcrowded and perhaps not the best place for such a building.

But Cumnor is certainly not a viable alternative. We already have a massive new housing estate planned for the former Timbmet site, which will stretch beyond reason our already inadequate services and add to the existing heavy volume of traffic on Cumnor Hill and through the village.

I will not venture to suggest another site, but since the number of Hindus living in the Cumnor area is close to zero, it would make sense for a temple to be placed near where the majority of the Hindu community actually lives.
