Policy Pledges

I have lived in St Mary’s for more than 40 years enjoying our shared sense of community and diversity.

​

I am standing in the Oxford City Council election to prevent divisive policies being imposed on our diverse community.  

 

• I support policies and investment to help people to cycle, walk and to use public transport. I oppose road barriers, cuts to bus services, and a failure to engage with people’s lives.

​

• I will work alongside all those who want to make our roads safer and quieter - recognising that cars are still vital for many.

​

• I oppose LTN barriers as they cause gridlock, increase journey length and export pollution to our neighbours. They are not green or fair.

​

• I strongly support 20mph speed limits – but they only work if they are enforced. Stopping speeding traffic will be a top priority.

​

• I support policies that help local shops and businesses to recover.

​

• I back fair enforcement of rules to address problems of noise, parking, and rubbish strewn streets.

​

• I will press the council to support people to insulate their homes to address higher fuel bills and reduce pollution.

​

• I will work with local groups tackling issues of poverty to highlight the causes of poverty and ensure that people do not go hungry.

​

• I will campaign for the council to prioritise homes for key workers and for planning that sustains diversity in our neighbourhood.

​

• I will work for social justice and social inclusion and listen to local voices.

Let’s make St Mary’s flourish!
