Good Morning Oxford! We’re busy setting up for our second #StreetVoice Citizens’ Jury session. We’ve got a packed day full of interesting speakers and important discussions. Stay tuned as we will be posting updates throughout the day! 
Our #StreetVoice Jurors have arrived and are being briefed on today's schedule. We will then be revisiting the vision and principles agreed from the first Jury session last week before moving on to the first block of witnesses for the Jury to hear.
Our first group of witnesses will be focused on the topics of #publichealth, #climatechange and #transport. The #StreetVoice Jurors will have the opportunity to ask questions of the in-person speakers in groups afterwards.
So far this morning the #StreetVoice Jury has heard from @mcgivernalexis1 (Net Zero Standards Manager, @OxfordNetZero) on the topic of climate change, and @TimSchwanen (@TSUOxford) on the topic of transport and urban mobility.
The #StreetVoice Jury have now also heard from Dr Suzanne Bartington (@UoB_IAHR) on the topic of air quality and public health, and from Dr Tim Jones (School of the Built Environment, @oxford_brookes) on the topic of sustainable and active travel.
Our final witness this morning was Dr Brenda Boardman (@ecioxford) discussing pollution and climate change. We will be sharing clips from these speakers shortly and the full videos will be uploaded to gchu.org.uk/street-voice next week. #StreetVoice
