A sad day for #Oxford & @OxfordshireCC . An object lesson in how not to do local government. Little or no regard for public consultations; less still for the views of local business people, religious groups & residents with mobility challenges. #BusGates & #LTNs must be rethought.

Wow. @OxfordshireCC have spent £151,676 on advertising its "20's plenty" policy in less than a year - including on Sky, in National Geographic and at Tesco's outside #Oxfordshire ! @_LiamWalker_ & I estimate that's equivalent to fixing 2,757 potholes. #LocalElections2023 matter.

On 25 July, @eirianJprosser & @DailyMailUK picked up @OxfordshireCC 's 'hyperwoke' decision to ruin the #Oxford #Christmas Market for the sake of a cycle lane it redirected without issue only last year. It turns out, people didn't like this year's (mini-)market after all 🤷‍♂

More on #Oxford 's #Christmas chaos following @EdHalford1 's piece in @TheOxfordMail . This time from @eirianJprosser in @MailOnline : The overwhelming majority of thoughtful, law-abiding cyclists must think this is a mad decision, too.

🧵 had been in discussions with @OUFCOfficial in his capacity as Cabinet member for Finance. At or around the same time, it appears that he objected to the club's plans in a private capacity. That cannot be right. Cabinet members are there to set policy in the best interests..2

Wow. @LibDemsOxon call those engaged in direct action against #LTNs "mindless vandals" (remember, the "noisy minority"?). Will they condemn @XR_Oxford 's "Summer Uprising" planned for 16, 19, 28 & 31 July? #NoToLTNs ; yes to pro-business, blue-green, @CEN_HQ -led #ClimateAction .

Watch the passionate exchanges outside @OxfordshireCC ‘s HQ yesterday as demonstrators against Oxford’s controversial #LTN scheme came face to face with @duncanenright & @lizleffman . In all my years covering Oxford, I can’t think of many issues more divisive…

Not for the first time, @_LiamWalker_ 's absolutely right here. According to the Lib Dems, "a teacher in a car is still a car". Shocking language for a party bent on introducing a £57m car tax bombshell on public (and private) sector workers across Oxfordshire.

🗣️ “A teacher in a car is still in a car.” 🔶 That’s what Lib Dem cabinet member for highways said about teachers complaining about a workplace parking tax Lib Dem’s want to implement in #Oxford . Their anti-motorist policies are hitting the pockets of workers. #GantsGridlock

Update on @OUFCOfficial : Whilst signing of the HoTs is welcome, the press release from @OxfordshireCC is instructive; Clearly, the LibDems & Greens running the Council aren't happy with the club's plans: Supporters need to keep the pressure up.

The LibDems are at it again. Having campaigned against road improvements across #Oxfordshire for years, they now claim credit for @Conservatives funding from @hmtreasury & @transportgovuk secured in 2017 when @OxonTories ran @OxfordshireCC . I wonder why? 🤔

I have tabled a motion celebrating the securing of funding for the Lodge Hill junction. I would like to thank the tireless campaigning by local Lib Dems to get this project over the line. I will not stop campaigning on this issue until the first shovel hits the ground.

@OUFCOfficial 🧵 of residents. They can't pick and choose the issues on which they're objective and those on which they're not. Sadly, this is @LibDemsOxon all over: refusing at every turn to take responsibility for how they've run @OxfordshireCC since 2021. We must have better leadership.

Campaigning to protect free parking in #Woodstock today with @rbrharrison & the @NorthOxonCons & @WOCA_News teams. #Oxfordshire 's market towns need sensible, pro-business policies to support hospitality and retail indies. Parking charges will hinder, not help.

@fredfelt This misses the point on every level. Local government in #Oxford caused a well-loved event organiser (whose IP the #OxfordChristmasMarket was) to lose her business for the sake of a cycle lane that could have - & happily was - diverted last year. Not only woke, but incompetent.

More fake politics from @LibDemsOxon : Using Chrome, Google: "Treasury Autumn Statement 2023 Submissions". Your top hit will read: "HM Treasury will accept representations until 5pm on 13 October 2023". @CalumMillerLD writing to @hmtreasury on 17 November 2023 is for show.

The Autumn Statement provides a chance for much needed investment in the rail services to Bicester. Rishi Sunak promised £36b for "hundreds of new transport projects...across the country". I have written to the Chancellor to ask for (1) funding to #KeepLondonRoadOpen 1/2
