that @LibDems in Oxfordshire inherited from @Conservatives who had been in control of Oxfordshire for decades. You will find total road maintenance backlog will be in the £00s millions. When little money to tackle it. Let's have a drive round @banburynews

I'm afraid @OxfordshireCC roads aren't not safe nowadays. I believe that as the Highways Authority they are not meeting their legal obligations under Highways Act 1980. I see dangerous Potholes left for months, even marked cycle lanes. It's an historic issue

Cars and buses go from Oxford Station down Botley Road for the first time in three years! The project took longer than the construction of The Titanic and saw costs balloon to £237m. Looks good though.

For the first time for 3½ years, the 400 Park & Ride bus passes under the Botley Road railway bridge on its way to Headington. (If you want to travel to the railway station, remember to get out at the bus stop in Frideswide Square.)

Many of the arguments made in favour of cheap public transport have merit. But none of them justifies giving public transport away for nothing. Discover why here economist.com/finance-and-ec…

Along with 108 electric buses, £500m train fleet and a brand-new Mersey Ferry, we are completely modernising our transport fleet—the only region in the country to do this.

100 percent. Well done to Jessica, Jason and @LiamConlon2 for this fantastic result. Other Boroughs now need follow their example please. The dockless e-bikes are a nightmare for blind, partially sighted and disabled people.

Jason Beal, a local resident, said he had had to force his guide dog into a busy road because of the company’s lime green bikes being strewn over the pavement. Local councillors had also threatened to pull Lime’s bikes off the streets and charge the company for the hassle ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

Then we must rip out all floating bus stops and remove all undocked hire bikes as well as maintain our built environment properly.
