We were out in Rose Hill and Girdlestone Road this Sunday, with @oxunilabour.bsky.social and @younglabourse.bsky.social. We talked about the cost of living and how Labour's making a difference in Government. 1/3
It has been great to be out on the doorstep over the weekend in Hinksey Park, Rose Hill, Jericho, Headington Hill and Northway, St Clement's and Marston 🌹 ☀️ Thank you to everyone who also joined our litter pick in the Leys! 🌱
The Labour Party strongly opposes today’s decision to introduce a temporary congestion charge in Oxford.
Residents need to be listened to rather than ignored by the County Council, which took this decision about the congestion charge over our heads.
Huge love to Trish Elphinstone and Duncan Enright, who sadly weren’t re-elected in Rose Hill & Littlemore and Witney North & East. They’ve worked so hard for our local communities and we wish them both the very best. 4/4
