It's election time and the Conservatives are trying to shift the blame for their own failings. Over successive years central government has given local authorities a fraction of what it costs to maintain the roads and now they want to blame @libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk ...
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre.... Nice article @theguardian.com except you've got your Southport and Stockport mixed up. Again.
Further changes include rerouting the 5A via the LTN bus gate on Crowell Road to speed up journeys between Minchery Farm and Templars Square, and retimings on other routes. The H2 from Witney to the JR transfers from Stagecoach to OBC’s sister company Pulhams. www.oxfordbus.co.uk/service-chan...
They didn't even stop to think about whether it's a good offer.
Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe?
Ministers say they’re looking everywhere for growth but are ignoring what is staring them in the face.
Labour group leader Liz Brighouse in Lye Valley, her current county council seat
Labour has called for the upcoming Oxford traffic filters to be “halted”. Its local leader Liz Brighouse said “Oxford residents are united in recognising that traffic is a major problem. But debates on what to do about it have turned neighbours against one another.”
Hi @labourwalkscycles.bsky.social @labourstone.bsky.social are you aware of the following: www.oxfordlabour.org.uk/labour-backs...
You have invited a group of Oxford Labour Councillors to speak at your event on the 1st Feb. It seems somewhat hypocritical.

Oakshott leaving the UK because of VAT on private school fees is surely a huge endorsement for the policy.

This is on land that the County Council released to the City Council to deliver affordable housing.
It's an anachronism that works as part of the same system that protects rights of way over private land. If one day of inconvenience a year is what it takes,it's worth it.
If you joined recently, our starter pack may help.. let us know any omissions.

Given the huge problems across Britain’s regulators - including chronic of conflicts of interest - this feels like a potentially very very retrograde step by HMG
Also exactly kind of thing Labour would have railed against if Tories did it

Thanks Clarion people. You're a voice of sanity and evidence-based journalism. Even when you don't support what my colleagues and I are doing. Enjoy your break.
Yes. But not canned baked beans which are far too sugary. And as a Lib Dem I knit my own baked beans.
What Yvonne Constance - the former Tory Roads supremo - did, without fuss, was show she has more integrity than the rest of her Tory and Labour colleagues combined, with their soundbites and lack of solutions to the very real problems of congestion in Oxfordshire.
From the same logic as LTNs are racist.
Multi-lane road in a city with no cars in it
Good news. Because I have a picture of a street with no cars in it, we don’t need streets for cars.
I know that because of all the helpful people who have told me over the years that because they have a picture of a bike-lane with no bikes in it, we don’t need bike-lanes.
Sounds reasonable, right?

Graphic of an elderly woman and a young boy embracing, overlaid with 'It's time for a cross-party approach to social care."
The Government must urgently start cross-party talks on social care before it is too late.
We know the problems. It's time to get all parties round the table and agree the solutions.
Wonderfully strange things happen in Stockport these days.
