Thames Street, Oxford with a bus and about 5 cars and vans, well spaced.
Who misses the traffic queues for the Westgate?
Obscene.
wait so building labs, labs labs and not houses houses houses has actually NOT helped Oxford's ecomomic outlook?
If you want concentration camps in the UK, people being grabbed off the streets, or murdered on them, five year olds being separated from their parents and locked up #VoteReform
These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.
To help retail businesses, shut the cars out of city centres.
Spanish bank BBVA analysis showed a 9.5% increase in retail takings after traffic restrictions in Madrid.

"The Mandelson scandal is bad. Very bad indeed. And that therefore makes it comparable to an average Tuesday under the Johnson administration."
Why is every scandal existential for Starmer? Because he has actively worked to eradicate his own support base. And that, along with the Mandelson decision, can be laid at McSweeney's door iandunt.substack.com/p/starmers-m...
In she goes… the 48-wheeler Self Propelled Modular Transporter lines up the new concrete box that will form the walkway and bridge abutment at Botley Road. The jacks in the foreground will lift the box into position, enabling the SPMT to be driven out again.
So, it turns out that the flag people have a Facebook page that can be viewed without an account.
It raised my blood pressure by looking, but in doing so, I found a handful of names associated with this movement.
The question is, why can't @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social do this and take legal action?
a copy of today's Oxford Times. Headline: "School street fines prompting concern - 'Council should not be raising revenue' "
"Council should not be raising revnue" from school streets. May I remind the editor of our local newspaper that the only reason they are is because drivers choose to ignore the restrictions that were put in place to PROTETCT CHILDREN from getting hurt or killed outside their schools.
The reason why cyclists and pedestrians push back against these types of campaigns is not because we think visibility is bad (I wear hig-viz!), but because it's victim blaming that diverts attention from the real issues: dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure
“Where the built environment separates human skin and bone from lorries, cars, and buses, there is no need for our frantic striving to make fragile bodies hyper-visible”
Cowley #Oxford Low Traffic Neighbourhoods have saved 33 people from being injured in 3 years. Savings are both in the LTNs and on boundary roads.
We talked about this on @BBCOxford this morning.

A Taylor & Francis journal has retracted a widely-read paper linking cardiac-related mortality to COVID-19 vaccines after an unsuccessful legal attempt by the lead author to block the withdrawal. That author says he is considering further legal action against the publisher.
If you are troubled by selfish people burning wood in your neighbourhood, now a leading cause of air pollution linked to illnesses from asthma to miscarriage, dementia and heart disease, now is your chance to make your views known.

Graph showing decline in casualties across LTNs and boundary roads, with significant decline in 2023 and 2024. 2020 and 2021 are shaded paler due to Covid lockdown.
The Cowley Low Traffic Neighbourhoods have saved 30 collisions over 3 years within the LTNs and boundary roads according to latest casualty data, analysed by @cohsat.bsky.social
The Cowley LTNs were implemented in April 2021, after sporadic coronavirus lockdowns between March 2020 and March 2021.
Once more for the weekend long read crowd.
That is classic disinformation from ORFOL. The ruling states "Permission to apply for judicial review is refused."
They may "request reconsideration of the refusal of permission" at a hearing. Normally 30 minutes.
We presume they will be asking for more of your money ...
🚨 BREAKING:
A legal bid to halt Oxford’s congestion charge has been turned down. The High Court today refused an application for judicial review by Open Roads For Oxford Ltd, which had raised £60,000 “from private donations, transfers from aligned funds, and our GoFundMe campaign” to bring the case.
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.
Layla Moran's final tweet on X (formerly Twitter)
Oxford West & Abingdon MP Layla Moran has become the first Oxfordshire MP to quit X (formerly Twitter). She said “I can’t sleep knowing that I’m leading traffic to a site that actively enables sexual exploitation of women and children.” Her Bluesky profile is @laylamoran.bsky.social .
Repeating what happened after the Bus Gates were introduced in 1999, improved transport access to #Oxford, thanks to reduced congestion, has been good for retail business.

‘A silent majority’: Politicians strongly underestimate support for green policies, study reveals
- From solar subsidies to meat taxes, minority rightwing voices appear to drown out the consensus

Screenshot from The Times article 'Theres a Reason Young Men Turn to Nick Fuentes' reading "Watching contemporary TV drama often requires the suspension of disbelief. Not simply because plots are implausible, but because the moral universe feels inverted. Time and again, we are presented with the same tableau: a five-foot-five female heroine effortlessly subdues a 20-stone man, pins him by the neck, denounces him as a “racist, fascist, misogynist” and dispatches him with moral and literal finality. Masculinity is caricatured as brute, stupid and disposable. Power is no longer something to be questioned; it is something to be reassigned"
No idea what telly Lord Sewell is watching, because I can't think of a single show with this plotline let alone it being something that is inescapable for young white men who subsequently now face a crisis of masculinity drawing them to the far right?? 🙃
car dependency is crippling the UK theconversation.com/how-the-uks-... "for the UK to be more like Singapore, the government needs to make motorists pay much more for their car use. To be more like the Netherlands, it must take away their space"
