Cllr Duncan Enright

It’s awfully slow. I heard yesterday that the contractors are being selected so it sounds like new year to me. 😤

I love this. Making my town better WITH local people is why I love being a local councillor - and this bill from the @teamlbouruk.bsky.social AND @coopparty.party.coop Minister will make such a difference.

New orchard on King George’s Field, Witney! Bonus trees but it was a couple of weeks ago so no sunshine!

The path between Newland and Madley Park is being surfaced this autumn. Lighting will make it safe. Thanks to all my neighbours who helped campaign on this.

Shores Green junction in Witney is now beginning to be built, freeing our town of jams and fumes. After 20 years of campaigning this is so exciting to see!

Great! Witney was up 6%. Just sayin’

Oxfordshire Labour & Cooperative Group budget passed!

Labour councillors delivering for Witney!

Fantastic!

At the same time, Witney will get new express buses to Oxford in the early morning and late evening. The new S2 journeys will take around 35 minutes from Witney Market Square to Magdalen Street. Both this and the 600 are due to start operation in late February.

A new ‘orbital’ bus service starts next month, linking Redbridge Park & Ride, Oxford Science Park, Littlemore, Cowley, the JR, and Thornhill P&R, without the need to go via the city centre. The Stagecoach-operated 600 will run half-hourly, dropping down to hourly in the evening and on Sundays.

Following work by Labour councillors this year, here’s welcome news from your @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Government. Change Begins.

Oh that’s fantastic. Do let me have reviews! Merry Christmas 🎄

I’m finding it tricky to locate Extra Strong Mints in convenience stores. Is it our eyes going, John, or are supply chains not what they used to be?!

To be fair, @millwallfc.bsky.social were good, and we enjoyed them singing “Shit ground, three sides” 😂 1-1 a decent result and well played MOM Tyler Goodrham

On the way to see the Us against Millwall 💙💛

The water is high on Madley brook tonight but still within its banks, and Langel is still clear. Hailey Road is flooded so please don’t drive down there. Emergency services are on the scene to assist and the council control room is active. Floods further west including the Wychwoods.

Madley brook very high. Take care everyone in Witney

We should create a Paris Bar in Oxford, then we can ask Paris to complete the triangle with an Edinburgh Bar! Now that’s what twinning should be like in the 21st C!

This is the stuff. Warm homes means better off households.

Spot on. @oxfordlabour.bsky.social put £5m extra into roads this year, and now we have support from @uklabour.bsky.social Government to do more to rectify 14 years of decay.

Together at last: Eynsham Park & Ride to be connected to the A40 The 850-space Park & Ride at Eynsham, five miles west of Oxford, is finally to be connected to the A40. Although the car park had been built and was under security surveillance, the link road remaine...

Useful report on the first phase of work to improve A40 traffic (well, second, as Shores Green starts work imminently!)
