Sunday, April 30, 2006. Labour can't find the words. To describe quite how they are failing Oxford. So they steal mine. I suppose I should be flattered that they are reading and rattled by my criticisms. But resorting to plagiarism - come on chaps, you know what bad form that is in an academic city like ours! Let's make it clear for them and see if this appears on any leaflets:. If that offends Labour let them quote it and explain why. Posted by Jock Coats @ 23:57. Links to this post. Let's face it, most...

Thursday, March 09, 2006. Power to the Parish! Readers might be interested in this, about the Risinghurst part of the ward. I will perhaps work this up as a proposal for Quarry to have a parish too in the coming days and weeks. Http:/ risinghurst.blogspot.com/2006/03/power-to-parish.html. Posted by Jock Coats @ 08:36.

Friday, April 28, 2006. This should stop criticism. The Oxford Mail today reports that the team clearing up the "Narnia" CS Lewis reserve in Risinghurst which has drawn so much criticism from a few people upset by some felled trees:. Narnia Bench Unearthed (from thisisoxfordshire). A brick bench where CS Lewis saw Narnia in his mind's eye has been uncovered at the author's old home in Risinghurst. Posted by Jock Coats @ 11:32.

Sunday, January 22, 2006. A change for the worse? Do you use the Ampleforth? What do you think of it now? It seems to me that it's become a typical "estate pub" - a barn of a place with very little to recommend it unless you want to watch the big screen (which at least used to be in the other room so you didn't need to disturb fans just to get to the bar or out the door).

Some of you will know that over the past few years when I haven't been on the council I've been working on developing and promoting a mechanism ...

Thursday, March 09, 2006. Power to the Parish! I went to my first Parish Council meeting in three and a half years yesterday. I thought it would be good to say hello if I am going to be standing again in May. I got quite a nice welcome as an "old friend". So far so good. I'd invite folk from other parts of the city to go see the facilities that Risinghurst and Sandhills Parish Council run for their residents and compare them with similar things the city council runs for other areas. Compare them, for exa...
