Green Councillor gets mis-directed ‘hate mail’ over St Clements Ward renaming
"It is not me that is suggesting abolishing St. Clement's Ward" states Green Councillor, Craig Simmons. "The proposals I, along with my Green colleagues and local residents, submitted to the Boundary Commission clearly show the continued existence of St. Clement's."
"I did suggest the renaming of an expanded St. Mary's Ward (a nearby ward that was only formed in 2000 and which includes the University running track) in honour of Oxford athlete and neurologist Sir Roger Bannister, who sadly died earlier this year. But the City's Council's Labour Group decided instead to rename St. Clement's Ward - a suggestion I opposed. St. Clement's is a long established community that extends from The Plain east along St. Clement's Street and north of the Cowley Road. I can see why residents are angry that this name might disappear - but they need to target those responsible for this and express their opposition to the Boundary Commission."

Today the Oxfordshire Green Party sent in our response to the Boundary Commission's recommendations for new wards in Oxford, the areas each councillor represents. We have a plan that better serves the communities in different parts of Oxford, compared to draft based on a Labour Party design to eliminate all opposition to them.
This month, instead of asking people to come to a meeting in a big town, we are inviting rural Green sympathisers to join us in an online get together. Come and talk to fellow Green Party supporters and members in the countryside.
