Some brisk and breezy #LabourDoorstep in Blackbird Leys this morning. We call on residents all year round to talk about local issues and pick up casework, not just at election time.

Labour Cllr Charlie Hicks said: “We believe the decision by the cabinet to install traffic filters in 2022 has timed out. Too much has changed since then. It’s time to give the public a direct say on what happens next." 👏👏👏 oxfordmail.co.uk/news/24782186.…

We are facing the most acute housing crisis in living memory: record numbers in temp accomm, young people unable to buy, sky-high rents & too few affordable homes. Oxford City Council and our wholly owned housing company OX Place are ready to help deliver the new homes we need.

It was a pleasure to visit the latest OX Place development today with my colleague Nigel Chapman. Oxford City Council's housing development company is delivering 10 beautiful new homes at Youngs Way, Littlemore - 5 for shared ownership and 5 for social rent to local families.

This is really exciting. Looking forward to seeing the detail and exploring how this new funding can support the work of Oxford City Council OX Place to build more of the genuinely affordable homes for social rent we need to help fix Oxford's housing crisis.

I think Oxford deserves a leader who's actually got some idea what's going on in it 🤔🤔 Oxford needs to be in charge of its own destiny, not run from rural Oxfordshire Creating a Greater Oxford is the only local government reorganisation that makes any sense

Things might look a bit messy right now, but the top shops in Blackbird Leys are open and still serving the community.❤️ A new district centre is on the way, with green spaces, new shop units, and a new community centre. Pop down, say hi, and support your local shops.🛍️

Today, we're launching Greater Oxford – a new proposed council for Oxford and its immediate surroundings. Our proposal would bring local decisions under one roof and closer to the people they affect.

I've written to Andrew Gant to ask if the congestion charge permits for people who work in the zone only accessible via the toll gates will also be available to commuters who need to get to the railway station for onward travel to work.

Wonderful news from Angela Rayner Rushanara Ali MP 💙 today - the Vagrancy Act 1824 will be repealed! Finally this cruel and outdated law is scrapped. And congrats to Crisis and their activists for their brilliant campaign.
