The County’s active travel improvement works on Woodstock Road are now complete. Cyclox welcomes some of these, but cycling in Woodstock Road is still dangerous and confusing.

In the run up to the County Council elections on 1 May, we asked representatives of the four main political parties: ‘What do you think is the best way to make Oxford’s streets safer for cyclists and pedestrians?’

What if our cities, instead of favouring motor transport, expected cars to behave as guests? What would our streets look like if they were structured for the benefit of everyone, instead of being shaped around the needs of motorists?
By Ian Loader
How did we end up with our cities dominated by cars? With streets where pedestrians, residents, cyclists, children feel excluded and unsafe? With the idea that car owners have ‘rights’ to access, parking and speedy journeys?

I feel honoured and privileged to be chosen as the new Chair of Cyclox. I am also a little daunted. But mainly I am excited about taking on this role. I am passionately committed to Cyclox’s values and goals and look forward to working with the trustees and our members to take them forward.

Half our staff live outside Oxford, so we’ve always had staff parking. Around 22 cars were parked in the same playground that the children used at breaktime. This was a problem, but one it seemed impossible to fix. Pupils complained about not having enough space to play and there was constant concern about cars being damaged.
On 12 July Kate Arnold, Cyclox trustee, was announced as winner of the Bikeability Instructor of the Year award.
