Issues We Care About

Across West Oxfordshire, Lib Dem councillors and candidates are working hard for their local communities, making sure that new houses have enough infrastructure and services to support them, and opposing out-of-control development. We favour public transport, active travel, walking, cycling and doing everything we can locally to ease the climate crisis. Support us on May 5th, 2022 and help us take control of West Oxfordshire District Council.

Rethink the West Oxfordshire Housing Targets

New houses are covering West Oxfordshire at an alarming rate, with some villages growing massively in size and their basic infrastructure and other services unable to cope. Lib Dems feel there is an urgent need to review the local plan and give communities a say in what's happening with new housing
Getting sewage out of our gardens, cellars, villages and rivers

We are very upset about sewage regularly flowing into our rivers, as well as onto our roads and even our gardens and cellars. We are also very frustrated with our local Tory MP for constantly voting with the water companies. Join us in our community-wide fight to get our rivers clean.
Rebuilding a Railway from Oxford to Witney and Carterton

Our petition to restore a trainline between Oxford, Witney and Carterton, reducing traffic and emissions, has had more than 1,300 signatures. A feasibility study is about to get underway, thanks to funding from Lib Dem-led Oxfordshire County Council
Cycling in West Oxfordshire

We're very keen on promoting cycling and other active travel to get around, especially as an alternative to being stuck in traffic in a car. Central government has made grants available and we hope to make good progress in improving cycle routes in West Oxfordshire over the next few years.
Rethink the Oversized Carterton Pavilion Project and Spend the Money on our Parks Instead

Joined up thinking is badly needed for Carterton's sports and recreation grounds. Join Natalie King in calling on the council to scrap the plan for an oversized pavilion on the Rec and use the money to give our parks a much needed upgrade instead. Sign the petition!
Traffic Enforcement in West Oxfordshire

Parking enforcement in West Oxfordshire has been haphazard under the Tories, to the advantage of drivers flouting traffic rules and at significant cost to the council tax payer. As a result, the Lib Dem-led County Council has taken back control of enforcement.
Making our Villages Safer

Across Oxfordshire communities are taking advantage of the opportunity, brought in by the new Lib Dem administration, to make 20mph the speed limit in their village. Individually, Lib Dems remain active in village Speedwatch groups.
Buses to our villages

Over the past decade, many rural bus routes have been cut, which is incredibly isolating for those unable to drive or who'd prefer to take public transport. We've helped bring some back by supporting community groups, but much more needs to be done.
Hanborough: Traffic problems and solutions

The thin road running through Hanborough is already congested with traffic. With 100s more houses on the way, things will only get worse. We need better solutions
