Fantastic to see plans to improve road safety on Morrell Avenue as part of Labour’s £6 million Active Neighbourhoods scheme. Plans include new speed bumps and raised crossings. Looking forward to reading residents’ feedback following the consultation. www.oxfordlabour.org.uk/big-changes-...

Lots of positive conversations on doorsteps this morning in Cold Harbour 🚪🌹 Great to hear that drug dealing had reduced. The team will be taking up issues around ASB, flytipping and potholes. You can report issues in our community on Fix My Street: www.fixmystreet.com

Today is your last opportunity to show your opposition to the County Council’s proposed fire cuts 🔥🚒 Plans are opposed by firefighters and should be withdrawn. Proposals would put Oxford at increased risk of fires with the closure of Rewley Road. www.fbu.org.uk/campaigns/cu...

👷‍♂️ Relining works on Warwick and Parker St 🛣️ ODS will be undertaking a deep clean of Warwick and Parker Streets on 4th February (subject to weather). They will also be replacing the lines and markings. A letter drop will be undertaken prior to the work commencing.

Fantastic to join Siobhan, Naomi and the Hinksey Park team out the doorstep again today. Lots of warm conversations about making South Oxford an even better place to live, ranging from supporting small businesses to affordable housing and road safety. #labourdoorstep

Great to see draft plans for new walking and cycling improvements in East Oxford. £6 million of improvements are scheduled after Labour secured vital capital funding. Watch this space. Plans are set to go to consultation this Spring. www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/transport-an...

Dodged the rain to join the team out talking to residents in New Hinksey. Lots of great conversations on issues ranging from flooding to road safety. One of the best parts of being a Councillor is working with local people to make our area the best it can be. #labourdoorstep🌹

Great to see some recent casework wins this morning! 🪵 Fencing replaced by the Gasworks Railway Bridge 🌿 Overgrown hedges on Chatham Road cut back to keep the pavement clear Please do report any damage to street furniture on: www.fixmystreet.com

Good to meet with reps from the @fbunational.bsky.social this afternoon with Labour colleagues. We remain extremely concerned at proposals to close five fire stations (including Rewley Rd) and remove six fire engines. The consultation is open until 20 Jan👇 www.fbu.org.uk/campaigns/cu...

I welcome the commissioning of advice for parents on how long under-5s should be looking at screens. Evidence already shows high screen use (5+ hours a day) can have big negative impacts on learning and development. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚦🛣️ HOLDING OXFORDSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL TO ACCOUNT ON POTHOLES The County Council has received an 'Amber' rating from the DfT for its performance in fixing potholes. This latest data shows there is still much more to do to keep our roads safe. (1/2)

Fantastic to join @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social and Cllr Ed Turner out on a chilly #labourdoorstep in Iffley Borders today. Lots of positive conversations about building a fairer Oxford which works for everyone 🌹

Great to be out with Siobhan and the team in Hinksey Park this morning. Lots of warm conversations tackling affordable housing, renters rights and road safety. Reminder to wrap up warm. It’s chilly out 🥶 #labourdoorstep

Great to be out talking with New Hinksey residents this afternoon about the issues that matter to them. Made sure to enjoy a good cuppa to help warm me up after a chilly session on the #labourdoorstep 🥶❄️

Fantastic to be out in the wintery sun this morning talking with residents in Grandpont ❄️☀️ #labourdoorstep

This morning Labour Councillors met with firefighters to discuss major proposed changes to our Fire Service. Labour is extremely concerned about these changes which could reduce fire engines, force redundancies and reduce night cover. Share your views👇 letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/ofrs-consult...

We managed to escape the rain this afternoon ☔️ Lots of positive conversations with Grandpont residents about the work Labour is doing locally and nationally to build a fairer Oxford 🤝🏻🌹 Always great to talk with fellow residents about what matters to them.

Great conversations in the winter sun this afternoon in Donnington ☀️ Residents really positive about my playground survey which is currently live. Let me know your views on how we improve local play areas 🛝 🌈 survey.labour.org.uk/donningtonplaygrounds

Glad to have secured extra funding from the County Council to protect frequent services on the 46. The Number 46 was hard fought for by residents and Labour Councillors. I will always fight to protect this valued route.

It’s great that Mayors are getting new powers to levy a tourist tax on overnight stays. This is much needed. Problem is, Oxfordshire doesn’t have a Mayor. A Metro Mayor offers great opportunities for our region. We can’t afford to wait for one! www.gov.uk/government/n...

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.

Oxford City Council is hosting a Winter Warmers event in partnership with South Oxford Health Alliance on Wednesday 3rd December, 10-12pm. There'll be giveaways including; hats, scarves, gloves, handwarmers, flasks, draught excluders and blankets - ensuring everyone can stay warm this winter.

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.

Thank you to the hundreds of residents who have signed @bradtbaines.bsky.social petition to make the Abingdon Road/Weirs Lane crossing safe. 1/2

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 ☀️ #labourdoorstep #onyourside

Fantastic to be out again talking with residents in Iffley Village about the issues which matter to them. A great response on the doorstep. Looking forward to continuing to work alongside residents to make Iffley an even better place to live! #labourdoorstep @oxfordlabour.bsky.social

Lots of positive conversations out this morning talking with residents in St Ebbe’s By the Water. #labourdoorstep

Fantastic to be back out talking with residents in Iffley Fields this morning with @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social Great to hear about what matters to local people and how we can be ambitious for our city. #onyourside #labourdoorstep

It is fantastic news that after significant lobbying by @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social and Labour Councillors such as myself, OFAS now has the CPOs it needs to progress! It’s time to get shovels in the ground to protect Oxford’s homes. www.gov.uk/government/n...

The Independent Oxford Alliance everyone 👏

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.

What a weekend! Fantastic to meet so many residents across South & East Oxford. So grateful for the support shown by residents. Together we can deliver a fairer, greener Oxfordshire! #labourdoorstep

More lovely conversations with Iffley Fields residents this evening. #labourdoorstep

What's the best way is to make Oxford's streets safer for pedestrians and cyclists? We ask representatives of political parties standing in local elections. We'll post one video a day. @bradtbaines.bsky.social @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social #elections

Lovely morning in South Oxford today 🤩 ✅ Outdoor pool open 🌰 Giant seed statues for @bradtbaines.bsky.social 🌹 🍦 New shop on Abingdon Road sells these incredible Mochi 🤤

Absolutely shocking that despite claiming that social care is a priority the Tories and Lib Dem’s grouped up to block Oxfordshire supporting a new National Care Service A National Care Service would put provide clear national guidelines and standards, so that no one goes without the care they need

Fantastic to hear from residents this morning about the urgent need for the 3/3A to connect to the rail station. The petition has now attracted 1,132 signatures. Yet, the Council still refuses to help restore this link or bring buses under public control. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2504738...

Great to be back out with the team talking to residents in Donnington. #labourdoorstep

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.

Labour has unveiled its manifesto for May’s Oxfordshire County Council elections, pledging to “put more money in your pocket” and saying “A Labour-controlled County Council working hand in hand with a Labour Government at Westminster will turbo-charge what we can do for local people.”

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!

Shaky photo alert 📸 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.
