So-called 'Independent' County Councillors David Henwood (Rose Hill & Littlemore) and Saj Malik (Cowley) have confirmed they have formed an alliance with the Conservative Group at County Hall. This is not what residents voted for on 1 May. Read Cllr Liz Brighouse’s statement 👇
“Voters across Cowley, Rose Hill and Littlemore will be shocked to find their supposedly Independent Councillors are now propping up the Conservatives.” “The Conservatives were resoundingly rejected across Oxfordshire just this month, losing scores of seats. Voters in Cowley, Rose Hill and Littlemore will rightly feel betrayed by this decision. This is not what they voted for on 1 May.” “By joining the Conservative Group at County Hall, these so-called Independents have revealed their true colours, showing once and for all that a vote for the Independent Oxford Alliance is a vote for the Conservative Party.”

So sad to hear this news that Tim passed away. Tim was like a father figure to me always watching my back, and a great mentor. He had a massive impact on schools and children and filled his friends and colleagues with hope. #TimbrighouseRIP

This is formal but here goes. The family of Sir Tim Brighouse are very sad to announce that Tim died in the John Radcliffe Hospital today after a short illness. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather and a towering figure in the word of education. 1/

This afternoon’s @OxfordshireCC meeting has rejected a call to remove East Oxford and Cowley’s Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, and has instead voted to focus on removing congestion around them. (You can follow the full debate in our thread below!)

The Labour amendment is carried. This means the Conservative call to “remove the LTNs” has been defeated, and the debate now continues on the amended motion that calls to “remove the congestion around the LTNs” instead.

Cheers to Flos at 5! 🥳 Cutting cake with a side of community spirit as Lord Mayor of Oxford, alongside Director Laura Sewell, was a party worth remembering. Flos has thrived with amazing volunteers and it's diverse projects & partners over the years. 1/2 🧵
