100 seconds of Greens standing up for our climate.
Following Zack Polanski’s recognition in The Independent’s Climate 100, a reminder that Greens have always led the way on climate action.
From protecting nature to ending our reliance on fossil fuels, we’ll keep fighting for a liveable future.
![Green councillor Emma Garnett, who represents Parks, said: “Improving mental health facilities in Oxfordshire - and nationwide - is a must, so I support the aims of this project but object to the proposed implementation.
“Making traffic, congestion and pollution worse - and active travel harder - will make mental health worse.
“546 car parking spaces - 416 estimated to be for staff - is unnecessary and unacceptable - whether underground or above ground.
“[The] site should reduce the total number of car parking spaces; put on mini buses to park and rides if they don’t feel that bus services are sufficient and set up car sharing schemes.
“High levels of traffic make it extremely difficult to improve bus services and attract people to use buses.”
Labour councillor Susanna Pressel said: “The idea that they should have 416 staff parking spaces is absolutely ridiculous.
“If the bus services are not good enough, arrange for a minibus from the nearest park and ride car park.
“I’m sure there are other things they can usefully put in their massive underground car park.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eewxcoekso2652dy4ez4vbzk/bafkreibqqgkypd5h467jmfjzfg7v7g6gzwqz7rfkqc5hf5pcsemlpsv7cq)
