Petitions
Ms Zuzana Hrdlickova and Ms Nicola Shorter presented a Petition of 379 Signatures requesting that the Council undertake a review of traffic with a view to improving pedestrian safety and reducing traffic speeds in the Bartholomew and Littlemore Road area.
Public Address
Mr Adrian Townsend spoke in support of Agenda Item 12 on the basis that he believed the Growth Board had a negative effect on politics and adversely affected the decision making process of both the County and district Councils and that the growth deal was pushing through unwanted, unsustainable growth in Oxfordshire including the loss of green space and building on greenbelt; providing double the housing actually needed. He urged the Council to reject the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway and spend the £250 million on the children of Oxfordshire.
Ms Jabu Nala-Hartley, Chairman of Living Wage Campaign and Mr Mark Ladbrook, Living Wage Campaign, spoke in support of Agenda Item 14 on the basis that Oxfordshire was an expensive place to live , that many public sector wages remained relatively low; that many local companies had already signed up to supporting the living wage and that those providing public services should be properly compensated. They urged the Council to support the Motion.
