Very disappointed to see so many local Labour Cllrs yesterday actively campaigning against public health measures I and other Labour Cllrs have worked so hard for over the last 3 years. You may not agree, I've heard you, but be supportive of your comrades, or just say nothing.

I don't know why I am smiling, but @matiashaywood couldn't get through this space today and nearly came out of his wheelchair as I pushed him down the kerb 🤬 #BanPavementParking . Before anyone comments, where the shot is taken is where we couldn't get through.

I am so pleased with this. Not only because I am in @voguemagazine (which is pretty cool tbh), but also if I have helped even make one person think they can change their behaviour and give up the car, that is a win!

Brum fully pedestrianised city centre, has been for approx 20yrs. Busy, lively, safe and happy. New St was hellish 20yrs ago, why can't we do this to High St Oxford. (Photo 9am Sunday so quiet).

@GeorgeEWant @mintJuLeP323 @legenny @b3ta Ok, so she shut down what was the only link from the Uk across to the States at the time . She shut it down instead switching across to resilient services. The whole thing went tits up for 3 hours.

Today was a good day for Oxford, but we still have a long way to go. I would hope that due to the majority of England currently melting at 40C, more councillors from all parties would see the need for us to go much further and faster on restricting car use in our city.

It takes courage, bravery and conviction to make a stand, a difference, especially against the onslaught of abuse and vitriol. I am very proud to be a member of this @OxfordshireCC Alliance today. Chapeau @duncanenright @AndrewGant3 @psud12 . 👏👏👏💪💪💪

An area for extreme stress for cyclists has been alleviated this morning. @timbearder has just approved the removal of parking on Warneford Lane. Well done all those who have campaigned for this. @cycloxoxford @CoHSATOxon @bengoldacre

For those at the back. You see that water out there, that is a direct result of us doing very little about climate change over the last 50 years. It will only become worse.

Concerning development overnight. Bollards have destroyed by fire. This goes beyond vandalism to arson. The consequences of which are evidently more serious. Please call @TVP_Oxford on 999 if you see any crime being committed.

Five, Four, Five! These are the ages of three of the children killed in motor incidents over the weekend. We need to act now to halt the endemic killing of our children. If this was anything but motor vehicles we would have spent millions to fix it. We are all complicit.

The notion that everything was harmonious in East Oxford prior to the installation of the LTNs is nonsense, people have been fighting for safer, cleaner and quieter streets for years, but doing so without threats or violence. #SaveOurStreets
