Why did no one tell us this before we handed over so much of our precious green space in Oxfordshire to developers? Oh hang on...we did, but the #ConcretingConservatives refused to listen...
All a bit late for areas like Cherwell where the #ConcretingConservatives have pushed the agenda to destroy as much green belt in areas like Yarnton and Begbroke as possible. They'll continue paying the price for that through the ballot box...
This is what @Cherwellcouncil's #ConcretingConservatives are going to destroy in North Oxon. Over a century of green heritage GONE! 1000s of mature trees GONE! You can't trust the Tories to protect our green spaces. Remember that in the May #Elections https://youtu.be/M2Ld3-bM6Xo
Spent most of yesterday wading about in mud and slime on the site where @MertonCollege and @Cherwellcouncil's #ConcretingConservatives think it will be a great idea to build 500+ houses regardless of the impact on the existing population. Its called Spring Hill for a reason!
Funny how it's never a Conservative MP who stands up for Conservation. Maybe they should change the name to the Destructive Party #ConcretingConservatives www.hertsad.co.uk/news/mp-vows-to-fight-pl...
A shame then that the #ConcretingConservatives like those in Cherwell District Council prefer to destroy existing wild areas in rural communities, ignoring the ecological harm and the lost opportunity for green investment...
More evidence that Oxford's unmet housing need has always been poorly quantified. But it was never really about that. It was simply an excuse to let Oxford University create a new campus in the Green belt in collusion with the #ConcretingConservatives...
Cherwell District Council wants to encourage more people to connect with nature. Great idea except for people in the south of the district who will soon lose much of their green space thanks to Cherwell's #ConcretingConservatives

An they are costing the Tories seats. Although in areas like Cherwell and South Oxfordshire the damage is already done. No one will trust these #ConcretingConservatives again....
Certainly has been round these parts. But unfortunately planning here is controlled by self serving couldn't-care-less #ConcretingConservatives in North Cherwell who believe that as long as none of their areas are developed they'll be fine. Wrong!...
In Oxford again this morning, drawing attention to how much Green belt we've lost in Oxfordshire over the past few years under the #ConcretingConservatives. Green spaces are so important, yet to the Tories they're just a commodity to exploit for profit #VoteGreen2019
If you're concerned about the amount of Oxfordshire being swallowed up by the #ConcretingConservatives, here's a handy guide on who NOT to vote for on May 6th courtesy of @abetteroxon
Canvassing one of my most supportive areas. Understandably so since Cherwell's #ConcretingConservatives want to turn the green fields around them into a dormitory town. Sadly there are still some people who haven't joined the dots on who's responsible for that
The realities of #climatechange and uncontrolled development that many more households are now experiencing. Lots more to come in #cherwell as more and more green spaces are destroyed by the #ConcretingConservatives
This is why we need to protect green spaces. This is why the Tories on councils like @Cherwellcouncil should never be allowed to forget that they have chosen to become the #ConcretingConservatives
A great video from @timbearder on the threat to Oxfordshire's rural communities from the #ConcretingConservatives. This is about @SouthOxon but the same thing is about to be pushed through by the Tories on @Cherwellcouncil https://vimeo.com/452273148
Just counted 14 red kites and buzzards circling over the field opposite my house as the farmer bails up straw. Amazing watching them dogfight in the sky until they all gained some height. These are the creatures that will suffer when the #concretingconservatives bury this land
Isn't it about time the #ConcretingConservatives on @Cherwellcouncil started being honest with the people of Yarnton and Begbroke? - Councillor slams Cherwell planners for using housing crisis as a 'smokescreen'...
The white bit of this diagram shows the 'planning gain' i.e. The massive windfall given to landowners who get planning applications through local authorities. No wonder so many developers and landowners support the #ConcretingConservatives both nationally and locally
Large areas of Begbroke are flooded right now. I wonder how building thousands of houses on those areas will help. Maybe the #ConcretingConservatives on @Cherwellcouncil would care to explain that to the people who live there now https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-50419925
The Greens and the Libdems continue to hold @Cherwellcouncil's #ConcretingConservatives to account on the #ClimateEmergency. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/17990283.cherwell-d...
Morning views in Oxfordshire. These are the spaces we have to fight to protect from the #ConcretingConservatives
