The Congestion Charge is only the start. Labour’s Bus Gates could fine residents £70 just for using local roads, and a Workplace Parking Levy could charge £900 per parking space at schools, hospitals & BMW. Working people shouldn’t be punished for living and earning here.
Absolutely not, and will continue to expose how Labour councillors voted in the Feb 2024 Labour amended budget.
It’s November 4th — Just giving my speech another run-through before the big vote to scrap the congestion charge.
If the motion fails, it’s very likely that the proposed Bus Filters — backed by the Lib Dems, Labour, and Greens — with £70 fines could come into force next year.
The views I express here are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of the council.
Breaking: I have received a response to my Freedom of Information request confirming that advanced proposals for a county council congestion scheme were made on April 2nd. These deliberations—and the application itself—were deliberately concealed from the public ahead of the election.
If two opposition groups are tied with 12 seats each, the taxpayer shouldn’t be funding duplicate shadow cabinet costs. Halving the allowances would be a fair and responsible step — protecting both democracy and the public purse.

This evening's event will be going ahead. There is likely a little rain! A big thank you to Littlemore Co-op provided mince pies & enjoy with the hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows-on Littlemore Green from 6:30 fb.watch/wiPIcJU74u/
So Labour did fund the 4 CPZs for Littlemore, Rose Hill, and Iffley! youtu.be/wPqF329Ji1U?... via

The council publishes new dictionaries with new definitions. Car journeys will be reduced by 20% and '20-minute neighborhoods' will be changed to 'liveable neighborhoods'.
@Oxford_Labour
It seems Labour DID support and fund the CPZ proposals just discussed by OCC! Cllr Trish Elphinstone even advised on their design.

Only Labour could vote for a CPZ and then claim victory for preventing part of one.

Cowley Road (James Street) saw the highest increase (35%) in NO2 levels – from 20ug/m3 to 27ug/m3 (a 7ug/m3 increase) This is likely due to vehicles diverted from the surrounding LTNs. Evidence from OCC that cycling on the Cowley road is worse. oxford.gov.uk/news/article...
