Fantastic to hear that another Vehicle Activated Sign is set to be installed on Weirs Lane tomorrow! This comes after two years of hard slog.
Speeding is a major risk to other road users and is making people feel unsafe. The County Council needs to do more.

Voters across Cowley, Rose Hill and Littlemore will be shocked to find that their ‘independent’ Councillors have joined up with the Conservatives at County Hall - propping them up behind closed doors.
It’s clear a vote for the IOA is a vote for the Conservative Party!

Still recovering after a long couple of days.
I am overwhelmed to have been re-elected as the Oxfordshire County Councillor for the larger Isis division.
It has been an absolute privilege to represent the diverse communities of South & East Oxford over the last four years.

We ask representatives of political parties standing in local elections. We'll post one video a day.

Absolutely shocking that despite claiming that social care is a priority the Tories and Lib Dem’s grouped up to block Oxfordshire supporting a new National Care Service
A National Care Service would put provide clear national guidelines and standards, so that no one goes without the care they need

Fantastic to hear from residents this morning about the urgent need for the 3/3A to connect to the rail station.
The petition has now attracted 1,132 signatures. Yet, the Council still refuses to help restore this link or bring buses under public control.

One of most common things people raise with me is the lack of a dedicate time for pedestrians to cross at the junction of Abingdon Road and Weirs Lane near Tescos.
We shouldn’t have to wait for someone to be seriously hurt for something to be done at this dangerous junction.
