This Project is a collaboration between North and South Hinksey Villages spearheaded by John Fleming (North Hinksey) and Cllr Joseph Denby (South Hinksey). 

• Cllr Denby moved to South Hinksey in 2021 to be closer to work and family. Joe is a keen walker, runner and lover of all the people of Oxford. Joe joined the Parish Council in 2024 to serve the local community that has been so welcoming to him and his husband. Joe's believes all politics are local and that through service and duty we can collaborate to improve the local environment for generations to come. Joe uses the Electric Road every day to commute to work and is working hard to ensure that everyone can continue to use this vital local amenity. 

• John Fleming moved to Oxford in 2005 and to North Hinksey in 2019. After a career in the computer industry he became a Trustee of Oxford Bridge Club, helping the members' club convert to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. He is a volunteer for the National Garden Scheme in Oxfordshire and he and his wife open their garden for the charity. Always a keen walker, he assisted Riki Therivel in 2024 with an application to make the 'Bulstake path' a right of way. This path runs across the floodplain from the South Hinksey side of the Fishes pub to the Thames Path beside the railway bridge over the river. It crosses the Electric Road near the half way point.

• Special thanks must go to Riki Therivel for all her activism and support over the years in raising awareness of the importance of local footpaths, countryside access, and community action.
