People are being asked for their views on a multi-million pound scheme for Oxford which will create 3,000 new jobs, 300 new homes, two new hotels and an amphitheatre. The opportunity for Oxpens - a 15-acre site between Oxpens Road and the river - to be a ‘new quarter’ for the city, with emerging ideas for how this could happen will be put on show at consultation events this July. OxWED, the joint venture between Oxford City Council and Nuffield College, will be sharing its plans and proposals through a combination of public exhibitions, site tours, a dedicated consultation website, and community briefings.
You can make a difference by joining the neighbourhood watch. This year there will be 60 spring cleans with the next litter pick taking place on Saturday, June 12. Councillor Linda Smith said: “It’s wonderful to see community-spirited members of the public come forward to organise litter picking. I’ve joined in myself previously and it can be a very rewarding activity. Oxford Direct Services works hard and does a good job keeping our streets and green spaces tidy but the volume of litter can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when the weather is good. Everyone needs to play their part and take their litter home for waste disposal or recycling.”
