OXFORD Brookes University has updated its plans for a new accommodation development after getting feedback from locals. The university announced in November that it was looking to build 500-600 extra rooms at its Clive Booth student village on John Garne Way in Headington. The village is already home to some 1,300 students, so this plan would result in at least 1,800 students living at the site. After several public consultations with locals from the Headington area, the university has said it will update its plans following local feedback. Improvements to the latest plans include measures to address the impact of buildings on views and neighbouring areas, the replacement of trees and protection of habitats.
With help from Trelech councillor Jean Lewis, the Local Democracy Reporter Service tracked her down. Emma Bolam was raised in Pen-y-bont, around eight miles north-west of Carmarthen, and went to Ysgol Gyfun Bro Myrddin in Carmarthen until 1989. She studied environmental biology at Oxford Brookes University and stayed in Oxford ever since. Her parents still live in Pen-y-bont – and her best friend from school, Lynne Edwards, happens to be the immunisation coordinator for Hywel Dda University Health Board, administering the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine. Emma works at the Jenner Institute, which develops vaccines and is based in Oxford University’s department of medicine. She is head of production at the institute’s clinical bio-manufacturing facility.

This novelty animal mask was one of the bizarre items left by passengers on Oxford Bus Company buses in 2020. Among the posessions left on buses and coaches were a pair of Bermuda shorts, a novelty animal head, a Superman onesie and a pumpkin. During the Covid-19 pandemic face masks joined the ranks of the most common items left on vehicles along with mobile phones and umbrellas. Staff at the bus company customer services department recorded 1,920 lost items in 2020. Passengers reported 1,028 items lost and 328 items were returned. The volume of lost items was around two-thirds lower than the previous year due to the reduction in passenger numbers amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
