SCHOOL travel time has increased by up to an hour since a new traffic calming scheme was implemented. In March of this year, Oxfordshire County Council began a trial of a Low Traffic Neighbourhood [LTN] in Church Cowley, Temple Cowley and Florence Park. The controversial scheme includes putting planters or barriers on particularly streets to stop through-flow traffic. The council has now proposed a plan for another LTN trial in East Oxford – affecting St Mary’s, St Clements and Divinity Road. Results from their month-long consultation revealed that the council’s Special Education Needs transport team raised concerns about the time it was taking children to get to school since the Cowley LTN was introduced.
1/1 A teen pair who said they confronted a man after he used a racial slur have been cleared of attempted robbery. Prosecutors claimed Ezekiel Tommy Amusan and Mickaydel Israel Ayee had squared up to their alleged victim – a historian in Oxford for a conference in July 2019 – and asked ‘what he had for them’ then said he had a nice watch. But the two young men – both still under-18 when the incident happened – denied the alleged robbery bid. Oxford Crown Court heard they had challenged the Austrian historian after he had ‘barged’ past them as they walked down Cricket Road, Cowley, on their way to a party on July 12, 2019.
