I have never read a more chaotic article combining transport schemes, local government structures, and plain careerism than this one It's no wonder people are cynical. Just do the right thing and have conviction about it! www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

🚜 Busy day clearing vegetation around Radley Park Ditch, Abingdon, to make the path usable again 😉 Great to chat with the team and check out the vehicle! We also asked them to trim the Cinder Track and ensure no cuttings end up in the stream Thanks to everyone who spoke with us out and about!

My favourite spot for a break on the way to Oxford. Above the A34 I'm not the fittest person in the world. Reckon some in the traffic jam could join me.

Absolutely fascinating piece which explains a lot of what ordinary news outlets fail to do so. The underlying justification. if you haven't already, Ed's is a book worth reading!

This looks like a genuinely brilliant, and important role! (assuming you're independently wealthy, have another job already at the same time, and are unaffected by such things as 'cost of living' in Oxfordshire)

A long-awaited cycle path has opened in southern Kennington, avoiding 1km of on-road riding on the Oxford to Abingdon route. The developer-funded route passes Redrow’s new ‘The Lawns’ estate. The path is seen from 5m15 in this video by @nathanley.com: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrem...

Oxfordshire's Lib Dem MPs have written to Angela Rayner backing a 'one Oxfordshire approach' with a Combined Authority including Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Buckinghamshire and an all-Oxfordshire Unitary. We should build on long-standing structures, not tear up existing boundaries.

Delighted to see that a new off-road section of cycleway linking Radley to the NCN5 route on the River Thames to Oxford is now sort of open!

Honestly, chuffed to bits that we directed our Council in Oxfordshire to plant hundreds of trees in the highways Endless benefits. Sometimes the vocation is worth it!
