As warned by the Lib Dems at the time, the moving of the bus stops from Queen Street has caused extra congestion on St Aldates. Cllr Alan Armitage, who will be putting a motion to the Council meeting next week, said that he had noticed that cyclists were having a hard time overtaking stationary buses and that pedestrians were having to step into the road to pass long queues of people at bus stops. Pembroke Square is a particular hazardous point.

At a time when climate change is high on the world's agenda with the Copenhagen Summit in view, and following Liberal Democrat action on the environment in Parliament, Oxfordshire Liberal Democrats are calling on the County Council to increase their efforts to reduce greenhouse gases in a motion going to the Council meeting next week. Noting that the Council's own targets appear to be stalling, Lib Dem Councillors will ask the Cabinet to urgently find better ways to manage carbon output, such as drawing up incentive schemes to encourage better energy use in buildings and services that are failing to meet the targets and planting more trees to absorb CO2 on its own land. As an interim measure, the Lib Dems are also asking the Council to sign up to the 10:10 campaign - to cut CO2 by10% by 2010.

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain. "

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy. "
