Fab to see the new perch bench by the Howard Street (southbound) bus stop finally installed. It may have only taken 18 months, but time well spent!
A perfect spot to take the weight off whilst waiting for a bus to the Kassam, Wallingford or Reading.
Great to join Anna and Siobhan out in New Hinksey this morning talking with residents.
Residents pleased about the swift action to provide additional bins in the Park during the holidays and warm weather.
Also, got to check out the future gym on Abingdon Rd!
Fantastic to see the first โcycle streetโ being introduced in Cambridge.
Disappointing that Oxfordshire County Council is only interested in rural routes for its new โQuiet Routesโ. Barracks Lane and Meadow Lane would be prime candidates for safety improvements.
Fantastic to be out yesterday talking with residents in East Oxford with @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social.
Always great to hear from constituents about what matters most to them.
My thoughts go out to Baltazar's family at this difficult time.
Oxford's rivers are a critical part of our City, but they can also be a source of danger. Please follow safety guidance at all times. Water may be deeper/colder than expected.

From 5-6pm tonight, St Maryโs Church, Iffley will be holding a vigil for Baltazar LโQuy. Baltazar tragically drowned in the Thames on Wednesday.
The service is open to everyone - to gather, to reflect and to seek support.

I know a great deal of residents who walk or cycle to Sainsbury's via Rose Hill face disruption as a result of the sudden closure of the Cottesmore Rd bridge. This vital link needs to be reopened urgently.
Please sign Ed Turner's petition calling for certainty about its future.

Reported several spouts of flytipping on my recent walk around of Townsend Sq and Donnington Bridge Rd. These has been reported for removal.
Flytipping can be reported on www.fixmystreet.com
New community wardens funded by the Labour City Council will clamp down on this.
Itโs extremely disappointing but not unexpected that the County would close the Rose Hill / Littlemore footbridge without any notice to local residents or Councillors. OCC needs to do better!
We urgently need a timeline for its repair and reopening.

Chaos at County Hall today!
An hour after the new Cabinet was presented to Council by the Leader, we find out that Liz Leffman has been dumped by her Lib Dem group and a Special Council meeting will be called to agree a successor. What is going on?
