Wolvercote Neighbourhood Forum

The Wolvercote Neighbourhood Forum represents the community in influencing planning developments in north Oxford. Help us keep it green and clean !

North Oxford residents are concerned that new developments, such as the Gateway and the Paper Mill, are not going to address our housing needs in our best interest and will increase pollution and traffic if the developers are allowed to implement their plans unfettered. We want sustainable, eco-friendly developments (neutral carbon) to take Oxford into the future. Developers are ignoring the Carbon Paper and Code for Sustainable Housing in the pursuit of greater profit margins.
We are enlisting the aid of legal advisor, environmental consultants and we need to employ a project manager: we also have the running costs associated with our campaigns. We need more researchers and funds to support our upcoming media strategy. We want to do our best in the local effort in keeping Oxford green and clean.
If our campaign is successful in influencing the council to pass planning permissions that meet the community's conditions, then the results will be seen immediately, and more importantly, we will be safe-guarding Oxford and its residents for the future.
