Labour & Co-op County Councillor for Isis 🌹🐝 School Governor. Trade unionist. Passionate cyclist. #BikeIsBest Thoughts my own.
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.

Another great morning talking with residents! This time in Long Ford Close.

Will be taking up issues around ASB, drug dealing and e-scooters. South Oxford is sooo pretty in the sunshine ☀️

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.

Greater to be out again in Iffley Village talking with voters before Thursday.

It has been a privilege to serve Iffley, Donnington and South Oxford on the County Council.

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.

A pleasant evening canvassing on Iffley Road catching the last of the sun’s rays for the day ☀️

It’s been lovely meeting so many residents in Iffley Fields ahead of the election as it moves into Isis division.

Can’t get enough of the spring sun ☀️

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.

Warm reception out on the doorsteps this morning in New Hinksey.

Always great to talk to people about how we make our area an even better place to live!

Always a pleasure to talk to residents in picturesque Iffley Village.

Glad to hear from residents that the CPZ is making a big difference!

A few streets campaigning this evening before heading to the Party AGM.

Always a pleasure to talk with residents about what matters to them.

Great to be back on the #labourdoorstep this afternoon talking with residents in Donnington about Labour’s ambition to bring buses back under public control and rebuild our public services.

It’s fantastic news that the Labour Amendment to the County Budget passed.

🚶£1 m extra for fixing pavements
🚲 £9.7m for walking & cycling
🚸 5 more school streets
👶 £1.5 million to support 0-5s with SEND
🥪 Sped up delivery of free breakfast clubs
📢 Support for the Citizens Assembly on transport
February 12, 2025 at 7:10 AM
@charliehicks.bsky.social is absolutely right in challenging the County Administration to commit to implementing the recommendations of the Citizens Assembly.

We need to bring people together around a sustainable way forward. This means putting residents at the heart of future decision-making.
February 11, 2025 at 4:22 PM
Proud to present the Labour & Co-op Amendment to the County Budget today.

Labour is backing more money to support families, helping children with SEND and to repair our broken pavements & cycleways.

Proud to lay out an ambition for free breakfast clubs in every primary school.
