At the end of the day it serves nobody because it takes too long to get anywhere. Risinghurst needs a bus direct through Headington to Oxford. They should make 1 in 3 Barton buses serve Risinghurst as the 8a . It would only add 10-12 mins to the 8 service and work for everyone.

We performed on par with the Greens and Lib Dems in Barton, Sandhills & Risinghurst and helped lay the foundations of a bigger socialist movement in Oxford. That's something to be proud of.
