This morning Labour Councillors met with firefighters to discuss major proposed changes to our Fire Service.
Labour is extremely concerned about these changes which could reduce fire engines, force redundancies and reduce night cover.

Glad to have secured extra funding from the County Council to protect frequent services on the 46.
The Number 46 was hard fought for by residents and Labour Councillors. I will always fight to protect this valued route.

It’s great that Mayors are getting new powers to levy a tourist tax on overnight stays. This is much needed. Problem is, Oxfordshire doesn’t have a Mayor.
A Metro Mayor offers great opportunities for our region. We can’t afford to wait for one!

Levy on overnight trips will help mayors invest in local growth
England’s mayors will be able to invest in transport, infrastructure, and the visitor economy through a new levy on overnight stays.

I’m incredibly happy to have secured additional funding from the County Council to protect Monday - Saturday evening and Sunday services on the Number 46!
Reduced funding from Le Manoir could have seen a scaled back service. I will always fight to protect this route.

Fantastic to hear that another Vehicle Activated Sign is set to be installed on Weirs Lane tomorrow! This comes after two years of hard slog.
Speeding is a major risk to other road users and is making people feel unsafe. The County Council needs to do more.

Voters across Cowley, Rose Hill and Littlemore will be shocked to find that their ‘independent’ Councillors have joined up with the Conservatives at County Hall - propping them up behind closed doors.
It’s clear a vote for the IOA is a vote for the Conservative Party!

I am overwhelmed to have been re-elected as the Oxfordshire County Councillor for the larger Isis division.
It has been an absolute privilege to represent the diverse communities of South & East Oxford over the last four years.

Absolutely shocking that despite claiming that social care is a priority the Tories and Lib Dem’s grouped up to block Oxfordshire supporting a new National Care Service
