Yes to 'destination Jericho' traffic - visitors, deliveries + customers. No to traffic filters, congestion charge + pedestrianisation. Keep Jericho alive.

Oxfordshire County Council is coining it with congestion charge penalty fares..especially in the city centre, where visitors won't be familiar with the scheme.
This is what congestion charge signage looks like on the approach to the Hythe Bridge Street cash cow. Sorry, filter.

If @OxfordshireCC and the Liberal Undemocrats deny anything, take the opposite to be true. Even the bus company doesn't believe them! End your war against the motorist. @OBAG_Oxford @Ind_Ox_Alliance @eastoxbusiness @JerichoConnect @YewneekPhoto

Traffic congestion in London is causing significant financial damage, with recent estimates suggesting it costs the capital roughly £3.85 billion to £4.9 billion annually. london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…

3.8 million for a 200 metre bike lane. That’s £19,000 per metre.
This is exactly why taxpayers across Britain are fed up. Councils burn public money while basic services crumble.

Your periodic reminder that Oxfordshire County Council is so clueless about congestion that it installed congestion charge points in locations that never had constant congestion.
Displaced traffic ended up making congestion worse in the suburbs, where congestion was always bad.

Fair.
The Oxford citizens assembly on transport was a farce.
It didn't stick to its own terms of reference.
The advisory panel was stuffed with public sector and lobbyists.
Opponents were given a token speaking slot, and then asked to leave. They were not allowed to debate.
Mark Wallace@wallaceme
It's a good rule of thumb that anyone suggesting a "citizen's assembly" or "people's assembly" to decide anything "deliberatively" wants it to be controlled by and/or composed of themselves and people who agree with them, in order to produce a conclusion that they already want.

@streathamstuff In Oxford it's the LibDems who are pushing for the world's first zero emissions zone, a workplace parking levy, supporting the LTNs and putting in six traffic filters. Unpopular within the city, they're voted in by people living outside Oxford in leafy villages.
English
LibDem council candidates are “strongly opposed” to the return of the #Streatham Wells LTN, which brought the area’s transport system to its knees before Lambeth was forced to ditch it, almost exactly two years ago -- Full article >>> streathamstuff.co.uk/article/202603…

Watch this video! It calmly but devastatingly shows that Lambeth's LTNs fail to achieve their goals and that neighbouring Wandsworth, which removed its 7 Covid LTNs, has less congestion, emissions & road casualties. youtube.com/watch?v=kjRBMM…

This resonates with the questionable approach to LTN monitoring used by Oxfordshire County Council. And that's being polite.
Namely: measuring traffic and pollution levels on roads you've blocked off with planters (and not adjacent roads, now taking the displaced traffic).
West Dulwich Action Group@WDulwichAction
Lambeth residents: The elections are two months today. This video does a good job of explaining a. how LTNs do more harm than good, b) how Lambeth’s LTN measurement is completely inadequate. Please share to make this an election issue youtu.be/kjRBMMceZJ0?si… #lambeth #ltn

A city of Edinburgh report shows the main objective of the Low Emission Zone is to "contribute towards meeting the air quality objectives".
The council's own monitoring shows that the objectives were met 4 years BEFORE the LEZ was enforced, so it should have been put-on-hold.

Hello - Oxfordshire County Council? Hello? Remember how you’ve closed Witney High Street, egged on by town councillors who’d wanted to close it for years, ‘cos ‘plague’?

Six low traffic neighbourhoods in south London introduced during Covid have been ruled "unlawful" by a High Court judge as they were illegally created to rake in millions of pounds in fines from motorists. dailysceptic.org/2026/03/06/lon…

@sjoh0050 It wouldn't have been necessary to tweet if the council had announced this in a timely way - rather than ten hours after the fire happened. Anxiety was caused to many.

@JerichoConnect I hope you will also be retweeting that they have suspended the charge on Marston Ferry Road today: x.com/OxonTravel/sta…
OxonTravel@OxonTravel
❗️CONGESTION CHARGE UPDATE We have retrospectively suspended the #MarstonFerryRoad congestion charge point this morning, due to the closure on the #A40 #NorthernBypass because of a fire. · Any fines for those who used #MarstonFerryRoad this morning will be cancelled. · Anyone who has used one of their prepaid permits, it will not be deducted from your balance. · If you have paid the £5 charge to use Marston Ferry Road this morning, please get in touch with the team and we can arrange reimbursement - ccharge@oxfordshire.gov.uk @OxfordshireCC is monitoring the situation closely and will decide later today whether to continue suspension this afternoon. #OxonTravel

A40 closed from Cutteslowe roundabout to Marsh Lane (Marston flyover) due to a mast fire last night. Council making a profit as drivers forced to go through the congestion charge point on Marston Ferry Road - the only alternative route.

🚧 ROAD CLOSURE There is an ongoing road closure in #Oxford on the #A40 #NorthernBypass Eastbound between #Cutteslowe and #MarshLane. Please use an alternative route. #OxonTravel

It's been fun watching Oxford Labour u-turn on its past support for traffic filters, ZEZ expansion and workplace parking levy.
But let's remember the Greens are now vying with the LibDems to be the most batshit anti-car party.
Vote indie, if possible.

Have you switched off the congestion charge, @OxfordshireCC ?
Seeing as you have now made it impossible to travel from North Oxford to Marston and Headington without passing a congestion charge permit checkpoint?

@IsabelOakeshott Callum Miller - this MP - put up the cost of on street customer parking in Jericho, Oxford by 205% to £19 for 2 hrs during the day when he was a council cabinet member here (before he was an MP). He's anti business + has no idea about how normal people live their lives.

You lost this argument and look ridiculous. Your MP thought the average uk household pays £20-30k a year in tax 🤣🤣. I’d pipe down at this point…

Our Armed Forces must always protect British citizens wherever they are in the world. But tax exiles and influencers who make a living criticising the UK should contribute to the country they still expect to protect them. @CalumMillerLD

Massive legal case smashes idea LTNs are anything other than revenue raisers. Court rules @Croydon_Council council ‘illegally created six LTNs to make millions from motorists’. They should all be scrapped. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/0…

Edinburgh Council told us that it needed to introduce a low emission zone to bring air pollution below the legal limits.
But monitoring shows pollution was below the legal limit 4 years before it was enforced. CEC has made a lot of money since the LEZ was enforced.

Lambeth Council earns *more than any council in the country* from its greenwash social division LTNs. It's always been about money. Thank god for our courts & justice Pepperall. Bravo Karen Lawrence #croydon & @OpenOurRoads Thank You! 👏🥂🍾 insidecroydon.com/2025/12/11/may…

@NFBUK @MayorofLondon Not just the blind and disabled but anyone who is infirm but not necessarily eligible for a Blue Badge.

Taking out buses and taxis will only create more barriers for blind and disabled passengers to access the places & spaces they need to get too. Please stop rail roading policies through that will exclude people @MayorofLondon.

The future of Oxford Street starts here 🗺️ By the end of summer, the heart of the West End (Orchard St to Great Portland St) becomes a traffic-free zone. No vehicles, no pedicabs, just a world-class destination for Londoners. Take a look at the first phase of the transformation:
