Some buildings in Oxfordshire's town have been deserted for months - even years, after they were closed down and boarded up.

Many who have a problem with their ticket or fine should contact Mayor Eddie Alfred, Jr., who appears to play both roles. He is in charge of the town's finances as well as the town's judge.
