Here’s today’s data. Once again Seacourt was never full and there was very ample parking elsewhere. There is simply NO NEED for more capacity at Seacourt.

NO NEED

There was an interesting article in yesterday’s Oxford Mail.
It was widely predicted that the number of visitors to Oxford would rise from the previous 9 million per annum to 15 million when Westgate opened. That’s a 66% increase.
The actual increase stated in this article is 13% compared to the same week last year.
That’s only 1/5th of what was predicted.
So the case for more parking at Seacourt has the rug pulled sharply from under it. There simply is NO NEED for more.

Busy but baffled (including parking data for today, 13 December)

We’re still here and busier than ever until the ridiculous and ill-considered proposal to extend Seacourt park and ride is finally defeated or abandoned.

Who in their right minds would want to build a car park in a flood plain in the first place? Talk about a white elephant. Add that it’ll cost at least £4 million and not be used makes it even more baffling.

Here’s the data from 3.20 this afternoon.

We lost the vote by a squeak – but we won all the arguments

The Oxford Mail has reported already. We’ll have a great deal more to say about what went on, but for the tonight the article speaks for itself.

This is far from over yet, this was only the first round, the fight continues unabated tomorrow.
