@WodcNews Interesting move and a couple of thoughts...
1) Could you start to collect extra recycling that doesn't fit into the blue bin? I'm only a household of 2 but often have excess recycling
2) Could the old sites be turned into useful community spaces e.g. community gardens?

[James Baughan @Env_James]

Yep, Halloween is officially over 🗑 ...scary to think how many more devil tridents have ended up in the bin this year

Spotted a cute little black bee 🐝 enjoying this lovely orange (I think) dahlia 🌼 earlier this afternoon at @AstonPottery

@abiialdridge How has your baby sister grown up so fast and taken her GCSEs already?!?!?! 😱😱😱

[James Baughan @Env_James]

@OxonCyclingNet @SouthOxon @WhiteHorseDC @Cherwellcouncil @WodcNews @OxfordCity @OxfordshireCC One for you, @Recycle4Oxford?!

[James Baughan @Env_James]

...of how cycle unfriendly the roads and spaces are. Lots of room for improvement and hopefully we'll be able to #BuildBackBetter 💪 🚲🚶‍♀️

[James Baughan @Env_James]

Have been out of my home office today, driving around Oxford delivering food parcels. So nice to see the city again and so much respect ✊ for delivery drivers and drivers of big vehicles in general (I was nervous in a relatively small Transit van)! 🚛 Also sadly reminded me...

[James Baughan @Env_James]

Soooo nice to go for a pre-work swim this morning 🏊‍♂️ (first time since March). Thanks to the team @Better_UK Windrush Leisure Centre for being so helpful and having the place running so smoothly 👍

[James Baughan @Env_James]

@CleanAirUK I'm not, but I will (thanks for the suggestion!). I did do a 'FixMyStreet' re the Duck Ln issue and it's been 'passed for future consideration' (which I think means thrown in the gutter). Here's to a greener, healthier recovery 💚

[James Baughan @Env_James]

A drop kerb or easy way of leaving the cycle lane and joining Burwell Drive. Equally useful would be to turn the desire line by the lay-by and underpass into a proper lane (to make the journey smoother). What do you think @OxfordshireCC and @OxonCyclingNet?

[James Baughan @Env_James]

Cycled to Oxford from Witney yesterday for the first time in many months via @A40Oxford 🚲 path. Forgot how motor-centric and bumpy the route is. So many give way to traffic sections, which could easily be reversed. Could this be considered for EATF2 funding @OxfordshireCC?

[James Baughan @Env_James]

On the wish list would also be a cycle lane from the West Witney A40 slip road that joins the main cycle path (so cyclists don't have to ride on the dual carriageway or through town). Upgrading the cycle path on Ducklington Lane in Witney would be wonderful, too. Could do with..

Thanks to the awesome team @Oxonlibraries Central Library today for being so welcoming and helping me find this book 📖 Now to start reading by the riverside - what better way to spend the afternoon?! ☀️

@coffee_shed hi guys, do you serve lactose-free milk? 🥛 ☕️

@hubbubUK @kewgardens @AffinityWater Here's my #tapchat photo comp entry and probably my (and possibly that of bees 🐝) favourite flowering plant - heleniums 🌼

[James Baughan @Env_James]

Well done @Tesco for making a 100% recycled plastic bag 🛍 Would like to see others follow and more stuff made from UK recycled materials please #circulareconomy ⭕️ ♻️ 💚

Why don’t we…introduce beavers to Oxfordshire to naturally help increase flood defences? And create more wetlands? Agree? Visit https://t.co/sP9eMEZSiq and be part of the conversation. #openthought #Oxfordshire

[James Baughan @Env_James]

Really lovely video and learnt a lot about the centre of Oxford. Missed so many things on my old daily commute there! #lookup 🐉 🏛 💙

[Oxford Civic Society @oxcivicsoc]

A few weeks ago we took the opportunity of an almost traffic-free Oxford to get local historian Liz Woolley to point out some places and things you might miss under more normal circumstances. See the video here https://t.co/ZA7U2copEJ
