THE transport system is one of the biggest contributors to CO2 emissions, and it needs to change radically and rapidly in order to help tackle climate change.

The Government’s intervention last week in South Oxfordshire District Council’s Local Plan was nothing short of an outrageous affront to local democracy.

There are rumours the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway, a Tory project so unpopular that they announced a review of it during the General Election, is about to be scrapped.

Government Minister Robert Jenrick has asked Oxfordshire County Council to consider taking over South Oxfordshire District Council’s Local Plan.

I want to talk about something that we don’t talk about enough in politics: our young people.

MPs were back to work last week, after the Christmas period, and I returned to Parliament keen to see if the Government had answered my questions about their promised Expressway ‘review’ and the continued delays to the Lodge Hill junction.

THE news in recent weeks has been dominated by parliamentary procedure and media speculation about Brexit and possible General Elections.

SO, after a dramatic prorogation and weeks of Parliament being suspended, we learned that Boris Johnson’s actions were null and void. We had never been prorogued.

Local residents care deeply about our local NHS.

LAST week Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire Councils voted to oppose the building of the Oxford-Cambridge Expressway.
