Quietly, a remarkable piece of public art is being created, which seeks to both explain the delays of the Botley Road, and share the highlights of West Oxford. We caught up with local artist Chris Shipton to hear more before its unveiling next week. oxfordclarion.uk/botley-and-t...

This video is brilliant: buff.ly/1zyTWmM Seems a total slam dunk that owners of private jets should pay fuel duties. Doesn't it? The answer is annoying. Thread:

Which one is more English?

Absolute scenes in Oxfordshire. LABOUR voting WITH TORIES and the car brained IOA to remove a traffic intervention designed to speed up buses, and was recommended by 74% in the citizens assembly THEY ASKED FOR, AND that has already been praised by the BUS companies, after SIX days.

If you cannot see children trick-or-treating, maybe consider not driving tonight?

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Happy Cleaner Air Day

Good question.

Good

Bloody brilliant 👇

This country is not well

By me this week - the happiest thing I've got to report of late, with a glorious trip over the summer to Montreal "Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport." www.economist.com/internationa...

We go live now to Donald Trump in the Oval Office to give a statement on the Nobel Peace Prize being given to a Venezuelan woman

Please help combat BBC news blackout of Green Party! @zackpolanski.bsky.social was the only party leader not interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their party conference. So please RT his cracking conference speech..

Happy Invincibles Day - to all who celebrate #COYG

I've had enough of listening. Time for action on low traffic. My letter in the Oxford Times today

This huckster knows exactly what he’s doing: creating chaos and feeding his base. But broadcasters must call this BS out. Would he refuse cancer treatment because he has ‘no idea’ if it works? Or stand in front of a moving car because the evidence of the damaging effects of a collision is unproven?

"We were told thalidomide was a safe drug and it wasn't..." Nigel Farage says he has 'no idea' if Donald Trump is right about paracetamol being linked to autism.

I have today sent the attached open letter to Anneliese Dodds MP

✨ This autumn, communities across the UK will come together for glow rides as part of #MyRideOurRight. We’ll light up the night and shine a spotlight on the need for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark. 👉 cyclinguk.org/glow-ride-map

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

So much ugh. Strong ChatGPT colour-way and high levels of paranoia and conspiracy theory. Love the idea that the town's "heritage worth defending" is centred on "parking your 4x4 on a narrow street with pavements barely wide enough for pedestrians"

Camcycle is looking for a new CEO to lead our ambitious charity in delivering our vision for a better future. Could this be YOU? We've extended the deadline for applications to Friday 17 October. Find out more & request a job pack from www.pollysymondsonrecruitment.co.uk/camcycle-chi...

Celebrating #CarFreeDay in Lambeth today, with another unforgettable #KidicalMassLond and @ibikelondon.bsky.social ride. Enormous thanks to all the ride marshals, music bike riders, @solveschoolrun.bsky.social, ride lead @rahario.bsky.social and all the children, parents and friends who joined!

Seems like s good day to re-visit this www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oxford #kidicalmass - world car free day edition. Over 200 adults and children took to the city streets in a joyous celebration of safe and inclusive cycling.

Vicious and hilarious.

Interesting new paper on the challenge increasing numbers of SUVs pose to climate efforts. “The current trend runs the risk of undoing climate achievements and solidifying unsustainable mobility habits unless there is a structural change in both urban design and consumer norms.”

BREAKING: COUNTRY NOT BROKEN

Somehow, Chelsea seem such fitting winners of this grotesque spectacle!

That’s one hell of an article title. And one hell of an image in the article. “Call to drop Range Rover sponsorship of Wimbledon as SUVs 82% more likely to kill children.” Good idea. www.londondaily.news/call-to-drop...

Yet another credible academic study published today, this time in the BMJ, showing that LTNs significantly cut road traffic injuries. To no one's surprise. injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/earl...

So far Cyclox have helped support trial bike buses at Cutteslowe, Windmill and St Frideswide's primary schools - St Nicholas is this Friday. If you'd like to have a bike bus at your school, email [email protected] It's good fun!

The @appgcw.bsky.social has made clear recommendations that would stop this practice and make our streets and homes safer. But delivery platforms continue to turn a blind eye.

Oxford brewery and bakery Tap Social is preparing an investment round for “a planned national retail launch and new venues”. An Early Access opportunity is now available on funding platform Crowdcube.

Leaders of multiple transport modes gathered today to sign a letter supporting the proposed Temporary Congestion Charge. The letter calls on the County Council to proceed with the Charge 'to unblock our city'. cohsat.org.uk/transport-mo...

This would not be possible without #FloatingBusStops. @heidialexander.bsky.social @simonlightwood.org.uk

We have written several papers from our study of security and everyday life in Macclesfield, UK. But this paper comes closest to the heart of what we found and why we think it matters. It calls for a closer dialogue between green and environmental criminology academic.oup.com/bjc/advance-...

There are places that have achieved Vision Zero. Oslo is one of them. Floating bus stops are part of the solution, not the problem. Stop making vulnerable road users fight over scraps of space while prioritizing the mode of transport that kills most.

🚨Clarion exclusive🚨 With Oxford County Council launching a consultation on the proposed congestion charge, we asked Luke Marion of Oxford Bus Company to share his thoughts on tackling what he calls 'Oxford's traffic emergency' to help deliver a world-class bus service in Oxford.👇

Oxford trying out a congestion charge is worth a shot in 2025 I am quite honestly fed up with the negativity and hypocrisy around it. It's time to make the positive case 👇 [10 minutes and a ☕ may be needed] cllrdrnathanley.substack.com/p/from-city-...

Paging @thewaroncars.bsky.social

We (Ben Bradford, Evi Girling, Richard Sparks and me) have a new paper out from our project security and everyday life in the English town of Macclesfield. It's about what conditions whether or not people living in the same neighbourhoods 'see disorder’ - journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
