POLICE are appealing for help to trace a woman who has gone missing in Oxford.

Alison Cox, 36, is homeless, but was in touch with local care services. She was last seen in Oxford on Wednesday, November 21 and reported as missing on Wednesday.

She is 5ft 4in tall, stocky build and has matted, unkempt blond hair.

PC Denise Trafford, from Oxfordshire Missing Person's Team, said: "We are concerned about Alison's welfare because she has a history of mental health issues.

"We believe she has links with Aylesbury, Milton Keynes, Lambeth in south London, Bristol and Hastings and may be in those areas."

PC Trafford can be contacted via the Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505.
