Here is my round-up of local news for the week 24 – 30 October —
There was no Headington Headlines last week as I was away on holiday and didn’t have enough regular internet access time to keep up to date.
@TheOxfordMail carried a story claiming residents near the Old Road/The Slade roadworks knew nothing about the plans to improve pedestrian and cycling provision. On the other hand, investigations close to my ‘office’ show that at least one resident in a completely different part of Headington knew about it months ago.
Locum doctor Dr Yenugula Srinivas was found not guilty of all 11 charges against him. He remains suspended from practice pending consideration of his case by the GMC.
Oxford East MP Andrew Smith defied the Labour whip and with 18 other Labour MPs voted in favour of a referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU.
Headington’s very own pole dancing school Dance Inspires, run by Kate Whitley, was granted retrospective planning permission.
A bus shelter on Old Road was mysteriously demolished.
