We are aware that a water leakage from the building occupied by the NatWest Bank is causing health and safety hazards as the water turns to ice overnight. The County Highways Department has been alerted as this is a possible infringement of the Highways Act. We are working with Thames Water, the County Council and the assistant manager at NatWest to resolve this situation as soon as possible, and we hope to contact the property owner shortly to make sure that the drainage system and down pipes are replaced or upgraded
In the meantime, please take great care if you are using the cash machines in Stephen Road

The incidence of theft from motor vehicles in the Oxford City area is showing signs of increasing and as we move closer to the festive season the opportunities for theives to break into cars will become more frequent.
Please try to combat this type of crime by never leaving valuable and attractive items on display in your vehicle, most especially when it is left unattended.
If you see anyone acting suspiciously around parked vehicles or properties, please do not give a second thought to phoning the police on 999.
You prompt action could help the police to apprehend a criminal or prevent a crime taking place.
Many thanks for your continued support.

If you would like to sign a petition against the closure of public toilets in Oxford, including the toilets at Headington Hill Park, please click on this link.
David and I are campaigning for improvements to be made to our existing public toilets and for opening hours to be extended – if other councils can manage this for less money, then we think Oxford City Council should too
