I just received this from media and communications.  Good to see they are introducing us to council staff.

I was intrigued to read that the new Green member for St. Mary’s appears to see students as a “danger” to East Oxford.  Personally I see students as a positive benefit that adds greatly to the vibrancy, vitality, and viability of the area.  Sure – there are problems with HMOs and Cars but students themselves are not the problem.  Oxford would be a much poorer place without its two world-class Universities and their students.  In fact without them hardly anybody would have even heard of Oxford!  It certainly would not be the great tourist centre it is.
