County Councillor for north Abingdon. Usually riding a bike 🚲
Not going to rise to the (click)bait!

And I’m fairly confident my story (with links in the comments) has hit a more geographically relevant and important audience than theirs

Absolutely nobody is suggesting that

But just FYI I did both today. The only thing lacking is your imagination

Only just spotted this amazing Leopards/Faces example.....

Where did you think these magical savings were going to come from? Utter charlatans

Because the blue lines will be paved soon enough :-)

New consultation! Toucan crossing + bus stops on Twelve Acre Drive to improve safe walking/cycling links and keep bus options open for the future

This map is a great tool: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I do need to know what's cooking in some of these places though!

What do you mean? Killing children isn't a winning message?? #caerphilly

There's only so much time you get on planet earth, and as a Councillor I've wasted more than enough of it on people like *this* 👇

❌ Developer’s bid to scrap A34 noise protection – rejected ❌

Vale of White Horse DC has refused DWH’s attempt to drop the promised acoustic fence & wall at Kings Gate, Abingdon

A win for residents & councillors working together to hold big developers to their commitments 👏💪

Great to meet the Headteacher of Fitzharrys School, Will Speke, today

Lots of great discussions around 'school run' traffic and improving the situation 🙂

And yet this is the sort of thing they're putting in their exhibition hall?

Thanks for asking. It's rare-ish around here

I suppose what I'm asking for is: "how do you convey to people who don't know about cycle infrastructure that it's actually OK to have something coming towards you on the red line"

We both know why it's fine, but instinctively the general public doesn't

Request: contraflow cycle lanes

Can anyone point me towards any guidance or examples which basically confirm "this is ok"?

Usual social media backlash from a few people, and I'd like to be armed with the facts (FWIW I love this)

🪏🪏 Good to meet the team this week digging up the kerbside weeds we put in multiple requests for (western end or Dunmore Road by Parsons Mead, Abingdon shown)

If it matters to you it matters to me

Now for wider coverage and a longer-term plan #watchthisspace

No better feeling than sneaking in a midweek daytime sprint 💨🚲

🚲 Big win for Abingdon! £1.5m secured to fix the missing NCN5 link + boost walking & cycling

Plans include a new two-way contraflow on East St Helen St, Dutch entrance kerbs, continuous footways + better crossings

Have your say by 28 Oct – letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/east-st-hele...

A brief update with some of the infra associated with the ‘Radley Reach’ development in Abingdon.

Incredible how there are so many interdependencies with other developments in neighbouring villages, S106 milestones, thresholds, and legal agreements

😎 Enjoying the weather with the perfect coffee from R&R to see out the weekend

It's been an eventful week but I'm grateful for the basic decency and humanity where it's clearly been on display. You are what makes our town what it is

Have a wonderful week everyone 👍
