Oxford Greens are campaigning in the Oxfordshire County Council elections to elect councillors who will:

Make transport more accessible, sustainable and efficient

• Introduce traffic calming measures on Morrell Avenue, including with speed cameras.
• Deliver effective walking and cycling infrastructure so people can get around safely and quickly.
• Support measures to make our buses more efficient, including the introduction of traffic filters.
• Campaign to bring buses into public control and support the Cowley Branch Line.

Stand up for Oxford's diverse communities

• Ensure that Oxford is doing everything it can to resettle refugees and welcome them to our city.
• Push local MPs to end UK complicity in human rights abuses across the world, such as in Gaza or Yemen.
• Campaign to stop changes to asylum law which would prevent many refugees from getting British citizenship.
• Take a stand against discrimination and support the full diversity of beliefs and backgrounds in Oxford.

Tackle the cost of living and deliver public services

• Invest substantially in community owned renewable energy and home insulation to cut carbon and bills.
• Provide more support for people who are vulnerable, including through the creation of new hardship funds.
• Campaign to get NHS and care services back on their feet by ending outsourcing and privatisation.
• Work to improve education provision across the County, including SEND.

Green councillors in Oxfordshire told us their stories in two Meet a Green Councillor events this July. They told us how they got interested and elected and then their experiences as local councillors. Take a look at the videos. Would you like to stand for election? Or could you assist a councillor with the wonderful work they are doing?

There will be a meeting to discuss and approve the Oxfordshire Green Party strategy on Thursday 2 October.

Oxford councils must consider setting up an energy co-operative to help cut energy bills. Southampton and Woking councils both have their own energy generation helping to reduce their energy bills. Both councils have plans to extend their schemes to cover more local housing.
