Congratulation to @JamesSBTaylor on his election in Headington Hill and Northway, against a backdrop of a (cor)net(to) loss of 5 seats for Labour elsewhere in Oxford.
Risinghurst and Sandhills Parish Cllr @JamesSBTaylor shares a Birthday (9 days time!) with Agnes Marshall who invented the Ice Cream cone. Yesterday James "wafe(r)d" goodbye to his flowing locks.

Oxford City Council is to convert Maltfield House in Northway into affordable homes. The site was used as a children’s home until the COVID pandemic and its now derelict. A contract has been awarded to Kingerlee for the works, which aim to deliver 15 homes for social rent.

The Labour Party strongly opposes today’s decision to introduce a temporary congestion charge in Oxford. Residents need to be listened to rather than ignored by the County Council, which took this decision about the congestion charge over our heads. 1/2

Labour MP for Oxford East, Anneliese Dodds, has come out strongly against Oxford’s congestion charge, approved by the LibDem-run county council today. “Oxford is not London because of our geography, and because our public transport isn’t up to London’s standard,” she said.

A Lambeth Green Party thread where Pete gets annoyed at Labour for pointing out that the greens opposed a 100% affordable development, before going on to confirm they are against it, and concluding by saying people’s homes are ‘prison-looking buildings’ - quite something to read
A 🧵Yesterday I found a @LambethLabour leaflet ripped up and littering the Central Hill Estate. On inspection I discovered that the 'nasty' Green Party was opposed to a '100% social and affordable housing project'! Allow me to provide a little context:💚💚 💚

“The vast majority” of items stolen from an elderly military veteran in Abingdon have been recovered, say Thames Valley Police. DC Laura Oakes said “It’s wonderful news that as a direct result of our previous public appeal, these treasured possessions have been recovered.”
Thames Valley Police are seeking help in locating heirlooms stolen from an Abingdon resident in his nineties who served in the Army and worked at Pressed Steel in Cowley. They say “the vintage motorbikes are believed to have been advertised for sale online in Oxfordshire”.

It's a run in a park where you're racing yourself? How about we all chill TF out and solve some of the real problems in the UK
Men competing in women’s sport is totally unfair. Everyone knows that. It’s time for @parkrunUK and others to put this right.

🧵 This week's column is all about council tax! It's England's most hated tax, and hasn't been touched since 1993. The withdrawal of subsidies has made it even more regressive over time Yet don't expect it to be reformed anytime soon: nobody can agree what to change it to 1/3

Curtis is a small town of 900 people in rural southwest Nebraska. The Curtis Medical Center announced yesterday it is closing, after more than 30 years. It is the only health care provider in the community. They blame Trump’s Medicaid cuts. klkntv.com/rural-southwest-n…
