Roger Sporle

As part of the eco-town consultation Mr. Sporle is the person to contact if you have questions about the planned town. For someone hell bent on wrecking our part of Oxfordshire he is perfectly pleasant to chat to. You can ask him about how all the extra cars will be able to get onto the A34 in the morning but he won't tell you.

His email address is rsporle@parkridgeholdings.com and his office phone in Solihull is 0121 745 0700.
