Cllr Katherine Miles 🧡

Today the #congestion charge went live in #oxford delivering incentives for behaviour change to get more people out of private vehicles and on to public transport. Delivering more and better bus routes for everyone and investments in sustainable travel. Thanks to the @libdemsoxon.bsky.social

Investment in #sustainable #transport #infrastructure is what colleagues and I at the city county and in parliament have been calling for and supporting. So good news about funding to reopen the Cowley Branch line #railway station @laylamoran.bsky.social @ollyglover.bsky.social

Thank you #janegoodall for your life works and contributions to #anthropology. I have fond memories of learning about your work at @durham-university.bsky.social and then seeing you speak in person in Kampala. Rest in peace.

I have today sent the attached open letter to Anneliese Dodds MP

I recently spoke in Parliament about the impact of pavement parking—a concern I hear often from constituents with disabilities, sight loss or mobility aids.
It makes everyday journeys harder and more dangerous. Councils need proper powers to act.
Everyone deserves safe, accessible streets

I am proud of the bold leadership taken by my @libdemsoxon.bsky.social colleagues today. Thank you for approving this pilot congestion charge for #oxford #climateaction

Welcome back to the #schoolrun in #oxford. @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social I hope you will do something about #pavementparking so children can safely #walk to school and the visually impaired who live on the street can actually use the #pavement @libdemsoxon.bsky.social @andrewgant.bsky.social
