Campaigners are set to hold a four-day event later this week to highlight the city’s housing crisis.
Titled House of the Commons, it will run in the city centre from Thursday, October 9, to Sunday, October 12.
Organisers say it will be held in a “disused space” but the location will only be revealed ‘closer’ to the day.
The programme includes talks on the history of land rights, folk song protest and talks from university professors.
Organiser Andy Edwards, a member of the Oxford Tenants Union, commented: “Oxford is the most unaffordable city in the UK and desperately needs a House of the Commons – a space in which to share concerns and ideas on all areas relating to housing, access to land and the right to the city.’’
