March Members Event
Our next members meeting will be held on Thursday March 20th at 7pm. We will be meeting at the Wesley Memorial Church in the John Wesley Room (New Inn Hall St, Oxford, OX1 2DH). There will be interactive sessions on topics such as the upcoming election and weight-based campaigning i.e., different policies for heavier cars. We will also be presenting an exciting new resource for employers to support their staff to more sustainable travel changes, and you’ll have a chance to hear from Zuhura about all that has been going on in Oxford in the next year. We hope to see you there! This event is free and open to all OLS members and supporters. To register, please click here.

Rose Hill: Oxford’s Traffic Filters—why are they being introduced and how will they work?
In November this year, Oxfordshire County Council will be bringing in six traffic filters around Oxford. Whatever your views of the traffic filters, having clear information and being able to ask questions is helpful. If you drive into Oxford, occasionally or regularly, you need to understand how they work.
This event focuses on accurate information and will answer common queries, such as: why are these filters being introduced? What do the passes mean in practice and how will I be able to apply? Which groups have exemptions? - and lots more.
This presentation will be given by Zuhura Plummer of Oxfordshire Liveable Streets, who are in favour of the measures, but are focusing on communicating the plans so people understand what is happening and why. This event is free and open to anyone in Rose Hill, and surrounding areas.

Does the media help or hinder the active travel debate? Roger Harrabin and Jamie Clarke discuss
Traffic issues have proved highly contentious in recent times. To what extent is the media responsible for fanning the flames? Former BBC journalist Roger Harrabin and international climate communications expert (and Oxfordian!) Jamie Clarke will talk on the role of the media in shaping public opinion on car use, active travel and climate measures. How do we break the cycle of 'outrage-clicks' and hold genuine conversations, while reflecting the range of views?

Traffic filters: What travel choices will we have in North Oxford?
The traffic filters are coming this autumn! How will they affect you if you live in North Oxford? Will you need to change your travel habits? Zuhura Plummer of Oxfordshire Liveable Streets will take a practical, jargon-free look at the filters, focusing on how they'll work locally, how to apply for the free passes/exemptions, and what choices you'll have once the filters are in. Carey Newson of Low Carbon Oxford North will also talk about the Oxford Car Free Challenge, where 12 Oxford residents will try living car free for three weeks.
