These schemes may well increase cycling but how does it help the local taxi trade. This scheme in London judged ‘unlawful’ by the High Court. From a general concern, to discontent and now legal action. Something is very wrong.

A low traffic neighbourhood scheme (LTNs) has today been approved by @OxfordshireCC. In the current climate, we can’t fully evaluate the impact this will have on our trade. Nevertheless, it’s open to feedback over the next a six months. We have access through 2 bus gates.
Happy new year to all in advance. May it bring peace and comfort to all those who have been effected by the virus and lost loved ones. Keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼
We are out there 24/7, seven days a week. Yes that includes Xmas day 🎄🎅🏻. The only public transport you’ll see providing a service when people most need it. 👍🏼🙌🏼. PM us for queries.
We had road closures in the 80s. Some remained closed but some closures caused an uproar and had to be re-opened. Mainly due to the traffic it caused on connecting main roads.
Some consider using Uber as ‘fashionable’. The fact is it is a multinational company which deliberately allows dubious drivers to work for them and conceals their criminal background. This is well documented. It’s simple: Use locally licensed cabs bbc.com/news/technolog…
We needed and nicely decorated big Christmas tree on Carfax. Very much needed for all to admire after what everyone has been through. The one on St. Giles is a bit dull and hidden away @OxfordCity @OxfordshireCC
What seems to be evident and and has been for the past few years is that the drivers stuck in heavy traffic on Abingdon Road continue on their journey onto Oxpens road and then Botley road. It begs the question, why aren’t these drivers using the south-west ring road.
Frideswide square a bit of a mess at the moment. Traffic tailing back all the way from Botley Road (road improvements) all the way back past the rail station and down oxpens Road.
Ranked up on Queen/Carfax on a foggy evening. If you’re out socialising, be safe and remember the rule @OxfordshireCC HANDS 🤚🏼- FACE 😷 - SPACE ↔️
Electric cabs are being handed back because of inflexible finance deals. Whilst the transport department avoids the concerns raised.

After 7 years of no fare increase, we are pushed to take the difficult decision to propose an increase. By looking at the report, you’ll realise it’s a very considerate proposal. Simply put, we’ve left it too long and the costs involved (including living) cannot be met any longer

@COLTA_Oxford @OxfordshireCC Fwiw I’m forever telling ppl, “If you are able to just use a club car for your occasional car trips, the money you save is so big that you can take as many cab trips as you want.” It’s incredibly liberating. No parking. No stress. Just great 👍🏼
@COLTA_Oxford @OxfordshireCC Meanwhile let’s consider making Oxford an example of big-tent active travel campaigning. There’s a place for taxis and buses there. It’s ALL part of moving beyond single-person private-car transport. 3/
@COLTA_Oxford @OxfordshireCC I heard the concerns of cab operators at the meeting, that folk won’t want to pay bigger fares to get round some of the filters. Honestly hope that won’t be the case — but one to watch. 2/
