Hello there, Oxford City Farm reporting for duty at Bluesky!

Donald Trump. An Apology. The new Private Eye is out now

“We need to listen and to make changes that work for all” - when they say “work for all” they mean “work for drivers”. A sustainable transport strategy isn’t supposed to work for all. www.oxfordlabour.org.uk/crowell-road...

As opposing the city's major bus prioritisation scheme, Oxford Labour wants to destroy the only accessible cycling route connecting Littlemore and Blackbird Leys with Cowley, Florence Park and the City Centre www.oxfordlabour.org.uk/crowell-road...

NEW: I interviewed Chris Boardman about his many careers, including his current role at Active Travel England. He told me that fact-free anti-cycling media stories are harming the UK's health, as they put off politicians from making brave but necessary decisions. www.theguardian.com/news/2024/de...

Headington Hill has now reopened to traffic following work to clear a tree that had fallen from the Oxford Brookes campus. Buses have resumed their usual routes.

Tree removal at Headington Hill

Here’s the fallen tree on Headington Hill, viewed from the top of the bridge: nothing is being done to clear it away as at midday Sunday. Local buses are diverting via Gipsy Lane, and London & airport buses via Headley Way
