@ReconnectingOx Totally disproportionate for Cllr Emily Kerr, from Iffley, to be trying to shut down Elms Drive in Marston. Marsh Lane traffic jams in rush hours regularly back up to the Bypass because of the Congestion Charge on MFR, this will make it worse. @MarkLygo@maryoxford@LabLinda75
OCC want to trial quiet lanes on roads that are largely rural in character.
Like this one, in suburban Marston, which green councillor Emily Kerr, thinks would a good fit.
Road closures would be part of OCCs scheme. Which would be an expansive interpretation of what's allowed.
The Lib Dems are dangerous. Councillors driven by ideology with a total disregard for motorists. We are seeing similar issues in Oxfordshire and continue to hold them to account. Residents have had enough of ridiculous Lib Dem ideas…
@thomas_ashby_@markchristie Wis you Good Luck, but here in Oxford we’ve endured years of restrictive bad traffic policies pushed by Lib Dem and Green Council zealots. Unfortunately, evidence suggests they will dismiss all concerns from residents and affected communities to force in their repressive agenda.
Councils are proficient at using language to conceal and manipulate. ‘Quiet lanes’ are an example. Who could object to the implied birdsong, narrow, tree-lined tranquility? The reality is blocking a major and vital commuter route from Carterton to Witney and beyond.
The Alan Partridge of oxfordshire local politics (and the LibDems new leader) thinks newspaper coverage of the LTN's was 'grotesquely biased'. he's not making himself any new friends in east oxford is he?
@OpenPlans LTNs are one of the worst divisive traffic ideologies inflicted on the UK. They cause mass gridlock & misery on boundary roads, while delaying emergency vehicles with evidence from multiple cities, including Oxford. https://t.co/ByOuhjCHhA
"Never going to Oxford again". The reality is that many customers are deterred from visiting Oxford's businesses because of the hostile environment created by the traffic restrictions. https://t.co/eqKQeG6rKa
"Every penny the council makes comes at the expense of the hundreds of Oxford's bewildered and frightened high street business owners who are telling us they've lost customers as a direct result of the congestion charge."

The changes to parking planned by the LibDems for West Oxon's market towns and villages would have a detrimental impact on small high street business
🚗Increase car park charges
🚗 Reduce the number of car parking spaces in car parks and on street

Before the elections I wrote that I was surprised by the number of people in West Oxon who need their cars to get around, with LibDem posters up. The LD’s have just announced they want permit parking in every town and village and are removing free parking. https://t.co/YelgTfdfwl
@SEANLWOODCOCK Cllr Gant arrogantly and smugly ruined so many people's lives & livelihoods in Oxford with his ideological anti-car spiteful road closures like LTNs & Con Charges, and then smugly went onto to dismiss any concerns. Not justifying any abuse, but a lot was legitimate criticism.
Andrew Gant says he got horrid online abuse.
Nothing compared to the pain he forced on east oxford business owners who had to shut their businesses bcoz of what he did to us
Dreams crushed, income lost, debts to pay. he f***ks off with no consequences

@BBCOxford Nothing compared to the real world consequences suffered by residents and businesses due to his damaging traffic policies. https://t.co/cdvsFbTxm1
