Banbury-based electric cargo bike manufacturer, EAV, is said to be “under offer” after entering administration. CEO Chris Temple said “the unexpected withdrawal of a key financial commitment from our major shareholder due to investor fatigue” sent the company into trouble “almost overnight”.

Very well put, @libdemdaisy.bsky.social 💯
There is a reason why trust in politics has broken down.
We have a system that severely limits voter choice, while forcing politicians to argue instead of figuring out what they have in common.
Proportional Representation is the solution.

Cycling should be a symbol of freedom.
✊ But unsafe streets steal that from too many, especially women. Women ride half as much as men, often held back by fear.
This is about choice, equality, and safe streets for all.

A technical site visit for a £6.6m walking and cycling project in East Oxford last Thursday was abandoned after an councillor from the pro-motoring Independent Oxford Alliance party arranged a “welcome party”—including a candidate for this week’s elections who followed and filmed highway engineers.

Thursday is 1 May. Oxford celebrates it in a unique way. We took a look. Enjoy oxfordclarion.uk/may-morning/
May Morning – an Oxford tradition
On 1 May thousands of people will congregate on Magdalen Bridge, listen to some children sing madrigals up a tower, then go watch some trees dancing to melodeons before going to find a bacon sandwich....

The vote share of the two biggest parties has been falling steadily for decades.
Recent polling shows it could fall below 50%. And yet we still have a voting system designed to silence all other voices.
It's time for a system update. It's time for PR.

The Independent Oxford Alliance party has published a proposal to cancel East Oxford’s Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and allow through car traffic, including removing the Union St gate by East Oxford Primary School, installed in 1983. They say a one-way system would prevent “damaging wing-mirrors etc”.
