Opponents of a controversial Oxford University student housing scheme have lost a vote to get the height of some of the blocks reduced.
The Oxford Times writes:
DEFIANT campaigners are vowing to continue opposing the Castle Mill student flats after suffering a crucial blow.
At a meeting of Oxford University’s ‘parliament’ on Tuesday, dons snubbed a motion to reduce the height of the buildings in a vote of 210 for and 536 against.
Afterwards the motion’s author Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch and his allies said they would consider whether to call a postal ballot of members not present.
