Sign up to donate

6:33pm Tuesday 7th July 2009

This week is Transplant Week, a subject close to my heart as in 1995 I received a new liver. Obviously the transplant was successful and although I have to take suitable medication, I am fortunate enough to enjoy a reasonably full life, thanks to the transplant team at Addenbrookes Hospital and to the thoughtfulness of the family of the donor.

Use the cycle lane

6:34pm Tuesday 7th July 2009

Now that the new bus lane is open at Headington, can we teach cyclists to use the new cycle lane provided as well.

Sell up if you can

6:37pm Tuesday 7th July 2009

We moved to the Oliver Road area of Cowley nearly 30 years ago and have seen a drastic change. It was a quiet, smart, sought-after area with young families and middle aged to elderly couples occupying the properties. Now it is very different.
