It’s official: I’m taking up responsibility for transport in Oxfordshire. I’m excited to take on this responsibility as part of a great team (details of which are set out below) under our new leader Cllr Tim Bearder.

NHS staff and teachers are to get free bus travel and Park & Ride parking in Oxford, funded by the city congestion charge. The plans were agreed at today’s Oxfordshire County Council cabinet meeting, which heard that schools and hospitals accounted for 42% of workplace parking within the ring road.

Why aren't they parked? Presumably because parking would cost Waymo more than driving around small residential streets - so Waymo is just getting taxpayers and residents to subsidise it. Coming to the UK imminently.

At some point on my lifetime we might get a government which recognises that having an entire tier of elected institutions which are just powerless complaints departments for a failing social care system is not a healthy or sensible state of affairs.

Candidates like this will be a crucial test for Polanski’s leadership. Both action and inaction send a clear message about what his Green Party will and won’t accept.

Is your street looking like a moonscape? Potholes are the perennial subject of “just fix it” Facebook outrage – but in 2026, wet winters from climate change, heavier cars, and spiralling pressures on council budgets have combined in a perfect storm. Our long read:

Britain is getting both hotter and wetter. Cars are getting heavier. And so roads are getting more potholed. It’s that simple. But fixing them isn’t – especially when Government funding to Oxfordshir...

In Oxford today I cycled past two lots of morris dancers to get to the drum & bass bike (no crossover party..) next to outdoor seating for pubs and cafes. 10 years ago this would be impossible: beautiful Broad Street was a thru road and used as a big car park. We don't always have to put cars first.

It may seem like nerdy detail that the increasing weight of cars is worsening potholes, but it matters. The car makers push to sell wider and heavier cars is increasing road maintenance costs and that affects us all. Not to mention worse crash outcomes and less space to pass (wider) parked cars.

Three Oxfordshire districts are among the top 30 councils in the country for household recycling: South Oxfordshire (61.3%), Vale of White Horse (58.9%), West Oxfordshire (57%), and Cherwell (51%). Oxfordshire overall recycles 56.6% - the highest of any county council.
