PROBLEMS IN OXFORD
Part 1
Oxford is a beautiful city but the traffic is very bad and a lot of people think the roads are dangerous and that it is more difficult for cyclists to use the roads in Oxford than in other UK cities. So Ted Dewan a local resident in Oxford, decided to start to personal protest to make the streets of Oxford safer and cleaner.
Ted wants people to drive slower and to hear and noise pollution, too. He thinks of funny and creative ways to stop or slow traffic. He thinks motorists will be surprised when they see these strange things and they will think of the road. One day he moved his living room furniture into the road and watched TV in the street. Another day he put a double bed in the road to slow the traffic. He also put a giant rabbit in the road! Ted thinks the government will see his protest and introduce more cycle lanes and traffic free zones in Oxford.

What do the residents think?
Traffic is a problem in this town but it isn’t because people drive fast. It’s because the roads are busy and people need their cars to get to work I think drivers will be very angry about these silly protests.
Marry, 34
Cars are noisy. They create pollution and they make out town dirtier. Ted’s protest will show people that they don’t need to use their cars every day and speed limits will stop accidents on our roads.
