County Councillor for north Abingdon since 2021 (LD). Usually riding a bike 🚲
Despite a Police and Crime Commissioner for the wider region who works against us, @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social is being brave and leading the way on road safety in 2026
It's that time of the year again Taking a short break from the internet — genuinely knackered and in need of a proper switch-off Something tells me we might need that energy over the next 12 months.... Thank you for the kindness and civility as ever 🧡 See you soon
🚧 £4m extra just approved to fix Oxfordshire's broken gullies - taking total investment to £9.42m over 2 years Now they've been cleared, the extra money is going into to fix the collapsed and broken structures where needed High-risk areas are now being cleaned annually, up from once every 4 years
🗺️ The Minister who signed off the "Greater Oxford" boundary grab was sacked days later. Look at the shape - it's a gerrymander, reaching for villages that have nothing to do with the city (but cutting us out?) I'd rather keep Oxfordshire whole. Please sign & share: www.oxonld.uk/lgr
Another beautiful July Saturday morning ☀️ Check out my ride on Strava: strava.app.link/Lj6j6xp3R4b
Detour home from work via the old university, possibly for the first time Funny how it feels like yesterday
A “day off” work today for Full Council at County Hall, but plenty of local chasing too: play park vandalism, Austin Place tree, speed signs, verges, library cooling, Boulter Drive parking, cycling links, noise cameras, EV chargers, NCN5 and Lodge Hill. I’ll keep nudging.
Honestly a bit too hot (especially under prepared) but lovely nonetheless strava.app.link/rdSh6uPHj4b
I spotted this X3 on the Vineyard, Abingdon last weekend It turns out to be a nice little milestone 🚌⚡ Electric buses are now used on the X3, especially at weekends and for part-day running We already have the 35, but it’s good to see electric buses appearing more often on the X3 too
It's not everyday you see one of these outside the bedroom window....😮 And I don't think it's the mealworms it's after....! #Abingdon #Oxfordshire #sparrowhawk
We've had a new Zebra Crossing installed after much lobbying and effort At the same time, working with officers, when repainting lines after resurfacing we've removed the 0.75m advisory cycle lanes and replaced with wider lanes and large symbols where space dictates
Pleased to see my new Zebra Crossing go in by Larkmead / St Helen and St Katharine School, Abingdon It felt like applying took nearly as long as 22 years between premier league titles!
Happy Early May Bank Holiday Emergency milk run ride bolt on = successful ✅
Days like this I'm so glad I didn't sell the Brompton #abingdon #oxfordshire #multimodalcommuter
Local election candidate on Facebook This is genuine median voter behaviour. And fair enough!
We've been enjoying Southern Town Park Run in Abingdon recently A really fun and friendly way to get the youngsters interested in exercise 👍😎
Let us hope the new bollard in picture two stops the thing in picture one happening! 🤞
🏴🐉 Happy St George’s Day - hope you’re all having a good one! I’ll be out doing my patriotic duty watering new street trees 💧🌳 With the dry spell (and 🌍 Earth Day just gone), they need it. Got a young tree nearby? A watering can helps Become a Tree Guardian! tree.planting@oxfordshire.gov.uk
Welcome to Abingdon, M&S food! Bike parking now open again to the side 😉
Pleased to see overwhelming opinion IN FAVOUR of the NCN5 cycle and walking improvements to our town centre, including contraflow lane In Abingdon we don't mess around or sit on the fence www.facebook.com/share/p/18EX...
Did an Ancestry DNA test. Unexpectedly I'm now a supporter of Welsh Independence and will be taking up learning Icelandic (??)
A break from the usual - away for work somewhere a bit warmer this past week 🌞 Back in town now - and no place like home I’m quickly readjusting to streets without tram tracks running down the middle, or brass instruments being played loudly every few yards (though I wouldn't say no to either....)
