- An anti-low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) party, back by actress Florence Pugh’s father, has won Oxford City Council seats in the local elections.
The Independent Oxford Alliance gained four seats on Friday, taking three from Labour.
The party has campaigned on backlash from LTNs since its launch in November, but said it is not explicitly “anti LTN”, but a “pro-democracy party”.
The grassroots party has been backed by Clinton Pugh, who says his restaurants in the area have been affected by the traffic managing schemes.
He joins Talk’s Mike Graham on Morning Glory.

If local councillors don't respect democracy. Don't pay council tax and expose their corruption.
Easy to say, but then that person will need a lawyer or they'll lose their home. There was a man up north, (maybe it was Northumberland). He had a small debt to the council. He couldn't pay it and he couldn't advocate for himself because he had severe depression. The council took his house and he took his own life. (I can research details if you like.)
What you need to do "legally" is withhold payment because you are unhappy with the service you are receiving.
What you then do is put aside the money you would be paying untill such times you pay your debt back to the council.
If enough people did this it would make a big bold statement and force council to actually listen with an ever shrinking budget.
@@Enoo-Wynn Oh it happens and lawyers in local government should be held accountable for this. ~An elected body that moves outside its remit is usually doing so to advantage itself.
Council tax is theft
Oh that will solve everything won't it.. £1000's owed to a council because stupiity on the internet says so. And court appearances with a possible chance of jail.
Great advice....NOT!
Vote Reform to stop all this LTN nonsense.
Exactly nobody deserves my vote,bar Reform
Theyre listening to WEF.
They are and ignoring the people who vote for them. I am deeply surprised that nobody has been run out of town in Oxford or Thetford.
Yup!
Vote Reform.
As a Oxford resident it really is shameful what they have done to the city, it wouldnt be so bad if they hadnt of coursed such shambles, they are slowly killing the city off, its a total disgrace. Good luck to the independent councillor's
Oxford was our go to city for weekend breaks not anymore last visit was disgraceful
We have in north Hertfordshire a liblab council. They are disgusting.
Great result well done 👏 👏👏👍
🤣🤣🤣 Very funny.
I really feel for the businesses on the cowly road. I live outside the area and regularly used the shops and restaurants there but now I won’t go near the place preferring traveling further to Banbury.
*Seem to forget who's employing them don't they?* - They literally work for us... do what we say sharpish
... or what?
The Tories have had enough time to sort potholes etc out.
Labour didn’t sort out potholes either
They pedestrianised our Main Street and it ruined the atmosphere. They asked us to complete a survey regarding cycle lanes and when we voted no, they complained that the wrong people voted and they’d send it out again. Morons.
They are being pathetic.
They are called the looney left for this reason.
Vote reform.
Sounds like Scotland and the wee Krankie trying to get an Independence vote through by just having vote after vote until she got the result she wanted! Once in a lifetime referendum, my arse!
What the Labour Party needs to do is, to do what it was formed for. To go back to supporting UK workers and let the Islamists stick to their Minority (minority being the operative word) parties
Labour arrogance is beyond belief, so just imagine how bad the UK would have become by the end of their first term in power,
And here in Leeds we get "Green Islamist's" we need more independents in councils to break the usual Lab/Con merry go round.
I have long argued that all local councils should not be run along party political lines.
Had he been from another Religion saying Thank God would you have complained or supported Israel ?
Shariah law for Leeds perhaps?
Join the June 1st march for the UK in London and bring your flags 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
So who is profiting from destroying town centers?
Out of town multi national shopping precincts
But you need a car to get there lol
This is a long term UN/WEF plan.
Ahh 😦 but are you “far right extremists” yet ? Always a favourite slur they like to use for any of us sane folk , that oppose their looney initiatives! 😂Congratulations , and good luck going forward.
And thank you for everything you are doing !
Basically, LTNs in Oxford is to promote cycling and discourage motorists.
Shame they voted it out isnt it , good riddance
All cyclists should be registered and insured !
And pay road tax
Of course like all councils, they got their own dam parking sorted out, so they don't have to live with the results of their own actions. 🤬
This is the UK I'm free to go where I want with no Dick Turpin or highway robbers with cameras stealing money
they do not want shoppers anymore, and shops are closing down all over the country due to greedy local councils and landlords with their exorbitant rates and rents. expect to do your shopping online now, this is their aim.
Yep...to get rid of cash.....thats the long term aim, and the only way is to get rid of shops ...!!!!
They don’t want shops in centres any more all towns will be apartments restaurants and leisure places, it’s not as if you can drive anywhere anyway you turn your back and the roads are dug up temp traffic lights everywhere and when they have finished the roads are different levels and not long after full of potholes, they don’t listen because they are career politicians and don’t care about every day issues because they live on a different planet waste of time all of them.
National and local government don't listen to the people
It's time they were taught a lesson vote Reform
The biggest problem we have in our town is high rates But we also have a high number of charity shops , coffee shops, Turkish barbers and estate agents 🤔
They are doing this in Bath where I grew up but culd not afford to live there, I now live in a small town where they want to charge for parking. It is destroying our independent business, who's behind it, we know don't we!
They want to bring in permits for a certain number of journeys on certain Oxford routes. You’ll get 25 if you’re an Oxfordshire resident for instance and more if from Oxford.
Some of us commute plenty, not through choice but to actually support our families.
Public transport is shocking and these councillors are not listening at all to concerns of the local community.
Instead, they’re foisting upon all of us measures which they even admit are to “change behaviour”.
Who the fuck do these people think they are?
Yes, you'll get 25 for the first year, then they'll reduce it year by year until you have none, that is their mantra.
Cultural Marxism
Democracy in action ... for once . You voted them in to look after Your Interests , Vote them out when they act against you .
They will never listen..theve got there own agendas..your view isn't required..vote that Labour mp out...
Question: are these Councillors being paid off, who is funding them, Just follow the money.
Need anything buggering up give it to government, they are the experts at it.
Where do these councillors get their education? Oh yeah, could it be Oxford?
Councillors are listening but only to WEF and the like
A lot of this is linked to 15 minute cities too, dont forget that.
I remember living in Oxford when the council was 'listening'. The problem is, 'listening' without processing it is simply stasis. People who attended such meetings included the best brains in the country who could solve problems. They were listened to without comment. So the council got away with listening-without-comment and listening-without-action. It's rule by 'thickos'; too thick to think.
This is the dad of rock star Florence ( as in and the machine).
Bradford council is out of control. Bankrupt and dismal. Yet they went against the vote of the community in Ilkley and have set up 20mph limits townwide and horrendous speed bumps which no one wants. Here in Ilkley we are ignoring the 20 mph limit as we view it as illegal and uninforcable. We do however recognise the sensible limits imposed outside of schools and care homes and surgeries which were already in place. The cost of this decision by Bradford council is horrendous and should have been spent enforcing the law in Bradford itself which is the worst city in the UK
They also want to do away with high street shops,restaurants etc as they can then build shopping malls with the 15 minute cities in mind.
Technology is great WHEN it works, but the drawback is it lacks COMMON SENSE when it doesn't.
If I have to speak to a phone robot, I keep talking very fast rubbish until it gives up and puts me through to a human and when I’m told it will be recorded a say great so listen to this. It makes me feel better.
I thought it worked like this, County deals with main roads, City deals with side streets, not all but most LTNs in Oxford are in side streets inside the City orbital ring road, so why does County have control over this rather than City? Why do we still have party politics in local governance?
it happened in Warrington the main street thru was Warrington Bridge St was so busy full of shops on a Saturday you couldnt move ...now one half is a bus lane and other half is Pedestrianized its killed the street ...and this as been happening every were
Make councilors financially liable for their decisions. If these councilors and to personally pay or the financial losses they would stop making these decisions
A man with common sense..this lot who run are getting back handers and clueless..vote them out...just vote reform.what u got too lose.cos your losing at the minute
Why would any council voted in by the people harm the people
Do not vote for any Council members of any party. They are all complicate in this. Vote only for Independents who are against all this nonsense.
Stop the world I want to get off
Vote reform if you want reform......
👏 👏 👏
The best thing about Oxford, is the soccer team
Bloody hell, Dave Angel's lost some timber.
