@DuncanStott @rail_guns Never quite feels pedestrianised, sadly. Lorries till midday, police and royal mail vans, illegal motorbikes and a smattering of lost drivers.

Should be 3am, it's a McDonalds on the only pedestrianised street in the city centre

Ronald McDonald’s got less time for you… following the approval of reduced opening hours for the relocated McDonalds on Cornmarket. At a hearing last night, Oxford City Council approved opening until midnight. The current site by the Clarendon Centre is open until 3am.

Farewell then to the very usable racks at ex @tapsocialbrew White House @dodopubco slow and steady. No bike racks available and sounds like it's wheelbenders on order.
Corrie Jones@corriemjones
@StewCElliott But you're absolutely right: there are prominent, desirable and easy cyclable pubs in Oxford with large car parks and zero bike racks.

You know I love you, but you ate an ostrich anus during a parliamentary session.

How ill-judged of Angela Rayner..utterly adolescent of her – to have thought it was a good idea to party like it's 1999..she's the deputy prime minister..after Labour's announcements..many fear for the future. Me in DM ✍️ read here Source: Mail Online search.app/u9wHqhTXANQa8z…

@jeffreyjohnbell The only time would be to use the loo - paying the toilet tax after with a half pint is law though.

Important, well written, smart thread. Take a minute, take it in

@MattEvans £7 pint of excellent tank pilsner urquell, I think augustiner in a bottle was a bit less.

A new Bavarian Bakery, restaurant and bar has opened up just off of Piccadilly Circus. "Albert's Schloss" – A central spot in London for an Augustiner! Looks roomy meanwhile cosy and nice but I've got to wonder about the prices? Anyone been?

@BadlyParkedOx @EmilyKerr36 @chrisjarvisdiy It's not a lack of appropriate places to park or load. It's a lack of giving a fk. This is yesterday.

Bullingdon Rd counterflow cycle lane blocked by #antisocialparking again today.
@EmilyKerr36 @chrisjarvisdiy
Badly Parked Oxford@BadlyParkedOx
Bullingdon Road counterflow cycle lane is supposed to be protected by an island between the cycle lane and oncoming traffic. #badlyparkedcars frequently block it on double yellow lines. Bullingdon Rd #antisocialparking

@APowellLaw No 'feels' about it, it is common. Tactile paving on the Cowley Road has become roosts for BMWs. Please call on @OxfordshireCC to increase Conduent patrols at peak times here (or indeed have some at all!)
English
This kind of entitlement is both absurd and yet sadly feels increasingly common. It is absolutely unacceptable. Not only does this kind of selfishness cause huge accessibility issues, it is also very dangerous.

@AndrewxMontague @LoveRat15 @DivRoadLTN While Andrew is getting hot and bothered about fake homophobic bs, and also making new rubbish up about Oxford roads (the Ab Rd is busy b/c Botley Rd is closed), let's go live to CCR where it appears gridlock is not occuring.
English
@LoveRat15 @corriemjones @DivRoadLTN Did you get that off Street View? 😂
No, I’m talking about business people and working people.
Any consideration for the folk who live on the now hopelessly clogged Abingdon Rd? Thought not.
And yes Abingdon Rd is busy because Iffley Road now doesn’t go anywhere.
English
@AndrewxMontague @LoveRat15 @DivRoadLTN Is there a different CCR I'm not aware of? There were 4 cars waiting at the lights at 1630 yesterday. That's not gridlock, it's not even a jam. It's a queue.
English
@LoveRat15 @DivRoadLTN Crowell Road is empty because it doesn’t go anywhere, Church Cowley Road is gridlocked.

Fairly topical, Two Ton School Run Arcade Machine, drive your kid 400 metres to school avoiding obstacles. (The whole video is just lovely, as is the arcade in Holborn.) youtube.com/clip/Ugkx19ffe… via @YouTube

@fredfelt haha I find there's quite often similar mental gymnastics about excessive/antisocial car driving too, and yes I am insufferable!

Our latest survey shows fewer vacant shops on Cowley Road - outperforming national trends again.
Vacancies over 173 units surveyed are down to 9 (vs. 12 in 2018).
They would have been 15-16 if national trends had been followed.

@HolyBollards That is gorgeous, but I think the van on zigzags/pavement is more representative of Oxford walking and wheeling environment, sadly.
English
@amwilson_opera @yhoitink @IanBryan77 @sixteenthCgirl I guarantee you the cost of that parking has increased by less than your meal over the last 3 years, perhaps even the last 12 months.
