We know many in Oxford will be worrying about loosing their home as a result of the eviction ban ending. If that's you, this is a useful thread & don't forget you can get in touch with Oxford Tenants Union or @acorn_oxford for free advice & support. It's shit, but you're not alone.

Exciting to see The Community Works open, a project we worked on with @makespaceoxford. We took a dash of Participatory City, a pinch of Open House, a sprinkle of CIVIC SQUARE and a healthy slug of @juliaunwin to mix what we hope will be a radical new space for #Oxford.
