Jericho Connected

A traffic scheme for Jericho which works for the many, not just the few.jerichoconnections.weebly.com/ideas-for-a-be…

And so it begins. LTNs in rural Oxfordshire. It starts with just ten. The council declares it a success and begins the rollout.

So what happens when nearly 90% of people oppose a pointless, unnecessary ultra-low speed limit in an area ruled by ‘Liberal Democrats’? They ram it through anyway, because Liberal Democrats couldn’t give a tuppenny shit about democracy.

Your periodic reminder that OCC's congestion charge and traffic filters schemes don't place a single new restriction on out-of-town parents dropping their kids off at North Oxford's numerous private schools. Funnily enough, traffic and congestion hasn't dropped around here.

Behold, the new leader of Oxfordshire County Council. He outlines his transport vision at minute 5. Spoiler alert, it involves a hurt finger. youtu.be/zR29PSfQB_g?si…

OCC now starting to close rural roads to cars.

Oxfordshire County Council’s best efforts to despoil Oxford - Big Brother eat your heart out

OCC is also giving itself the power to impose permit parking in every village and town in West Oxfordshire with that document.

Fair. To which add: Thousands of consultees he ignored. Everyone whose buses were cancelled following the introduction of the LTNs. Everyone suffering from displaced traffic he claimed had evaporated - especially medics working on 12 hours shifts whose commute he made longer.

Take care on the A40 this morning (heading past the turning to the Marston flyover) - the Marsh Lane queue is spilling onto the dual carriageway. Traffic also queuing for a mile coming from Woodeaton village. All courtesy of the extra traffic since the Congestion Charge went in.

BREAKING: The leader of Oxfordshire County Council has stepped down after five years in the job. This comes days after the loss of the Lib Dem majority on the council and a day after the resignation of Cllr Andrew Gant as transport chief 👇 oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26099513.…

The disgraceful @LibDemsOxon ship is sinking even faster than that of #Starmer! Fresh county elections @_LiamWalker_ Drain the #Oxford swamp! @ReconnectingOx @YewneekPhoto @MaCgroupUK @markchristie @KakocratWatchUK @JerichoConnect @eastoxbusiness

The Congestion Charge continues to deter customers getting to our shops. "Certainly, the signs are designed to put people off heading into Oxford and are therefore misleading. "And who suffers from this deception - local business." oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26082602.…

2 videos 3 years apart! Still disabled residents are unable to get dropped off in the pouring rain where they live because of road restrictions! This is the disgraceful ideology of @CamdenLabour & @AdamDKHarrison

As always it's East Oxford people who get dumped on by the LibDems, Greens and Labour. but also ill people trying to get to the hospitals. #Echobox=1777613123" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26067399.…

Hundreds of Oxford businesses tell us their turnover and customer numbers have dropped as a direct result of the Congestion Charge - but the council has failed to monitor the impact. Footfall dropped 18.1% in St Clement's year on year. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Gant didn't just spontaneously decide to apologise for the lack of congestion charge business impact data. Him, and his officers, were repeatedly challenged by local businesses owners for months over the council's broken promises, including in council meeting and via the press.

Oxford city businesses feel 'fobbed off' by congestion charge monitoring. Not-great monitoring data was pulled, other promised monitoring hasn't happened - so businesses did their own research (which showed negative impacts). Who'll be fired for this? oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26041291.…

It's disgusting if taxpayers' money is being used to fund political propaganda like this. People should be free to decide for themselves, without being subjected to state "re-education" campaigns. Cars are often the most efficient option for short trips.

Congestion Charge ❌Council gets richer from fines ❌East Oxford businesses get poorer because customers are put off from coming here. oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26047162.…

The roll out of 20mph limits and other anti-car measures is being coordinated outside democracy at transnational level, which is why public opposition is ignored. Local councils are effectively puppets, following orders from above.
