I'm fairly convinced the reason this section of Hollow Way at the back of the golf course (where Emma and I also cut a branch down) has only been cut back and fenced for a few meters is to unblock the view for drivers hurtling round the bend into Dene Road, pedestrians on the rest of Hollow Way 🤷♂️

Oxford congestion charge consultation online now, time to talk details of residents permits. The proposal is if you live in Oxford you get 100 day permits _per car in your household_ - so if you've got 3 cars, 300 days!
