Fun in the streets

A day of varied actions which culminated in the occupation of Magdalen Street East (the road behind the church, now used by buses but then only by occasional rat running cars). Props included a roll-out zebra crossing and a belisha beacon, and football was played with a ball with John Major mask attached. Major, then PM, had proposed making street football illegal. There were one or two arrests, but it was a very hot day and all went off to swim in Wolvercote gravel pit. In the evening the south end of Princes Street by the East Oxford Community Centre was occupied as a party space. One angry local resident drove through without hurting anybody
