Westgate on plans to expand crowded car park
The Westgate shopping centre in Oxford has responded to plans over expanding car parking capacity ahead of the busy summer holiday period. The car park at the city shopping centre has been filling up for several days so far this summer, according to Oxfordshire County Council. So far this month, the council has reported Westgate's car park as being full six times – all before schools have even broken up. And traditionally, the 1,000-space car park is full around Christmas time too with many people buying gifts for family and friends at the facility. READ MORE: READ MORE: Driver caught with 26 points on his licence We asked Westgate whether it has any plans to expand its car parking capacity or even build another one to accommodate the vast number of shoppers arriving by car. In response, a Westgate spokeswoman said: 'We work closely with [[Oxfordshire County Council]] to manage traffic around the centre and have a transport plan in place, which includes measures to pre-empt higher volumes of [[traffic]] than usual. 'We encourage visitors to use public transport options where possible, especially during the current local road closures, with details available on our website.' ⛔️WESTGATE CAR PARK FULL The @WestgateOxford car park is full. Please use your nearest Park & Ride: #Thornhill - OX3 8DP #Redbridge - OX1 4XG #Peartree - OX2 8JF #OxfordParkway - OX2 8HE #Seacourt - OX2 0HP #OxonTravel — OxonTravel (@OxonTravel) July 12, 2025 When the car park is full, it causes issues for drivers in the area being stuck in tailbacks along Abingdon Road. Westgate has not publicly offered its opinion on the plans for a congestion charge in the city which would affect access to the car park. Under the plans, drivers would have to pay £5 to drive in Thames Street, where the Westgate car park entrance and exit is, on top of Westgate's parking charges.

Mango prices fall amid glut of imported fruit
Kesar mangoes at Westgate Pak'nSave supermarket. Photo: RNZ / Blessen Tom Indian mangoes are cheaper this season than they have been in recent years due to a fierce price war that has reportedly broken out among several retailers. The price-cutting reports have soured what has a been a successful season so far, with mangoes from India on display at some stores under the umbrella of major chains such as Woolworths, Farro Fresh and Foodstuffs, which owns New World and Pak'nSave supermarkets. Prasad Salaskar of Salient Enterprises, which imports and distributes Indian mangoes to retailers nationwide, had mixed feelings about the season to date. "It is definitely heartening to see Indian mangoes being sold at major supermarkets this year," Salaskar said. "You can say we have achieved our goal of mainstreaming Indian mangoes in New Zealand. "[But] we also saw a lot of price undercutting by Indian retailers this year. There were too many importers in markets, especially for the Kesar variety, which flooded the market. "Ultimately some [retailers] resorted to selling the fruit below cost," he said. "This kind of price war doesn't help anyone. We have devalued our prime fruit ourselves." Nirmal Pandey, who imports Indian mangoes under his Auckland-based brand Mango Bite, agreed. "Our imports increased almost threefold this year," Pandey said. "I was also happy to see the mainstreaming of Indian mangoes," he said. "While some retailers did try to initiate price wars, I believe customers have become savvy too. They know and understand quality," he said. "So even though we didn't reduce our prices to match their [prices], we still had a good season." Salaskar said the price-cutting was particular to Auckland. "I don't know how to prevent price undercutting in Auckland, where there is major competition among Indian retailers," he said. "But, for us, we aim to spread our distribution network across the country, collaborating with main-stream supermarkets." Kesar mangoes at Westgate Pak'nSave supermarket. Photo: RNZ / Blessen Tom Mango season in India usually starts in April and ends around mid-July once monsoon rain begins. The retail price in New Zealand varies between $50 and $85 per carton (eight to 12 mangoes weighing three or four kilograms), with variety and timing affecting the cost. Mangoes imported in April and July (at the start and end of the season) tend to be a little more expensive. While Kesar remains the most popular variety of mango , others such as Langra, Dasheri, Chausa, Neelam, Malda, Banganpalli, Totapuri, Rajapuri, Sinduri and premium variety Alphonso have been increasing their market share every year. While specific trade figures are not available for imported mangoes - the Ministry of Primary Industries categorises the fruit, dried or fresh, with guava and mangosteen - Hitesh Sharma, owner of Christchurch's Maia Foods, said his sales had increased by 20 percent this season. "Moreover, the varieties we sold almost doubled," Sharma said. Mangoes imported into New Zealand from India must meet requirements in the Import Health Standard and, as such, must go through fumigation at one of two approved facilities : the Maharashtra Agricultural Marketing Board vapour heat treatment facility in Mumbai and the Andhra Pradesh Agro Food facility in Tirupati near Chennai. Salaskar was impressed with a noticeable improvement in logistics when handling the fruit this year. "As a perishable product, logistics plays a very important role in importing mangoes here," he said. "We were able to reduce our wastage by half this year, which is always good." Pandey said the future of mango imports looked good. "We did some trial runs for a major retailer this year, and, hopefully, they will come on board too," he said. "A couple more vapour treatment facilities may also be approved in future, which will further aid imports," he said. "So, overall, things are looking bright for Indian mangoes in New Zealand year by year."
