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.

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!

Still recovering after a long couple of days.
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.

One of most common things people raise with me is the lack of a dedicate time for pedestrians to cross at the junction of Abingdon Road and Weirs Lane near Tescos.
We shouldn’t have to wait for someone to be seriously hurt for something to be done at this dangerous junction.

Fantastic to meet provider Clear Channel this afternoon about installing a bench or shelter at the southbound Howard St bus stop.
It’s critical that public transport is inclusive and easy to use if we are going to tackle congestion.
