Officers of the association

Sushila Dhall - Chair

Sushila was one of the founder members of OxPA. A long time campaigner for the needs and rights of pedestrians, including those pavement-users who have mobility support needs, she is keen to see pavements and footways wide, level and unobstructed.

Jamie Blomfield – Secretary

Jamie has lived in Oxfordshire all his life, and is an advocate for safer streets for all.

Don O’Neal – Treasurer and Membership

Don has lived in Oxford since 1986 and experienced pavement problems for years. He hopes things improve for all pedestrians.

Nick Gibb – Social Media Co-ordinator

Nick arrived in Oxfordshire in 1991 and has studied and worked here ever since. He has navigated the county by car, bus, bike, train, taxi, on foot and pushed buggies & wheelchairs. He’s still not brave enough to try an eScooter though!

Vacant – Stalls organiser

Join us! We’re looking for a Stalls Officer to store our stall items (photos, merchandise, leaflets, and banner – which do not take up much space), and to ensure they are available for our 2-3 stalls per year. A bonus is you get to be on the Committee! Please contact us at oxford.pedestrians.association@gmail.com if you are interested.
