Save Port Meadow

Oxford's Port Meadow has been desecrated by the ugly tower blocks erected by an unthinking University of Oxford, and approved by an inept City Council, without proper consultation with the community.

This is a campaign to get the height of the buildings reduced, and to hold both City Council and University to account.
