Saw the excellent @janrosenow.bsky.social being dragged for this but like many things he is 100% bang on on this one. We do need air-con in UK People need to be able to work, kids need to be able to learn in school, public transport can't be unusable etc www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2627183...

A fatberg the size of a blue whale has been removed from Oxford’s sewers. It took two weeks to remove the 120-tonne lump of congealed fat, oil, grease and wipes, while maintaining Oxford’s wastewater flow and guarding against high gas levels elevated by the fatberg.

Other cities may have better vistas and landmarks, or more impressive colonnades and sprawling public spaces, but few cities do better *glimpses* than Oxford. Nobody can touch us when it comes to half-seen things that stick in the memory.

This is one of my favourite views in Oxford As you pass under the Bridge of Sighs, the gothic spire of Essex College chapel flashes into view for a moment before being lost behind the Sheldonian again. Sublime.

An Oxford landlord will have to pay over £11,000 after poor conditions were uncovered in one of his rental properties. Faults included an inadequate fire alarm, lacking ventilation, missing stair guards, and badly maintained fire doors. www.oxford.gov.uk/news/article...

From an article about clean air zone in Newcastle, fairly horrific reminder of how polluted some of our cities are. This is definitely hospitalising people. Oxford, by contrast, is now sub 30 nearly everywhere www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-e...

The bike parking at the new Life and Mind building on South Parks Road is SO nearly perfect ✅ Lots of them ✅ Correct spacing ✅ Right location BUT ✖️ Artsy scratchy racks (with matching bollards which is cute) ✖️ Secured to ground with 2x 13mm bolts, i.e. you can steal bikes with a spanner 7/10
