County Councillor for north Abingdon. Usually riding a bike 🚲
🚨 One for Abingdon Locals: The Lodge Hill junction when approaching from Hinksey Hill/Sunningwell/Bagley Wood *still* has this priority
As of today they have basically agreed to make the signs larger on the approach, as shown. It is apparently now better lit as well

🥳 Today I’m celebrating the milestone of 3000 (!) followers (on another platform!) 🎈
Celebrating than with the 300(0) Park and Ride Bus from Redbridge, where the bus is FREE and it’s £2.50 for all day parking for our family!
(And now only 7 minutes to reach the city centre, which is heaving 🚌)

Honestly, if this is you, fair play to you. That's principled.

❌ Developer’s bid to scrap A34 noise protection – rejected ❌
Vale of White Horse DC has refused DWH’s attempt to drop the promised acoustic fence & wall at Kings Gate, Abingdon
A win for residents & councillors working together to hold big developers to their commitments 👏💪

Thanks for asking. It's rare-ish around here
I suppose what I'm asking for is: "how do you convey to people who don't know about cycle infrastructure that it's actually OK to have something coming towards you on the red line"
We both know why it's fine, but instinctively the general public doesn't

Request: contraflow cycle lanes
Can anyone point me towards any guidance or examples which basically confirm "this is ok"?
Usual social media backlash from a few people, and I'd like to be armed with the facts (FWIW I love this)

Good to meet the team this week digging up the kerbside weeds we put in multiple requests for (western end or Dunmore Road by Parsons Mead, Abingdon shown)
If it matters to you it matters to me
Now for wider coverage and a longer-term plan #watchthisspace
