A full slate!

I am delighted to be able to report that Oxford Lib Dems have once again nominated a full slate of candidates for all 24 wards of our City for the upcoming local elections in May.

There are some really excellent candidates there - new enthusiastic people who are a real credit to their communities, current serving councillors and several who are hoping to return to serving as City Councillors after a break.

I hope you'll enjoy reading about them - you can find them all at:

Amazing work from City Works again!

Some of you will be aware that I worship at St. Columba's United Reformed Church on Sundays. This morning, those that arrived a bit early (around 10am) found most of the recycling bins (that I think belong to All Bar One) emptied all over Alfred Street so there was masses of rubbish and broken glass everywhere. Too much certainly to drive over. This was a big problem as we were due a visit from the Churches together in Central Oxford ecumenical donkey at 10.45am.  What you see in the picture is almost the end of the clean-up.  It was FAR worse than that.

One of our elders phones City Works and I was hugely impressed at how quickly they got there and what a great job they did of clearing up.  These guys really are  a credit to our City.  Thank you!

I do wonder why it is places like All Bar One are allowed to leave so many recycling containers all over the street on Saturday night into Sunday though.  They are incredibly ugly and I don't think commercial collections happen on Sundays anyway.
