The image shows a political campaign poster or flyer for Adam Nell, who appears to be running for local office in Oxfordshire, UK. The poster has a blue and white color scheme with the headline "ADAM NELL STANDING UP FOR ADDERBURY, BLOXHAM AND" (the text appears to be cut off at the bottom of that line). The text below states: "For every £1 LibDem-Oxfordshire County Council spends on roads in Oxford, it spends just 62p here in Adderbury, Bloxham and Bodicote, including Milton and Milcombe." It continues with criticism of current spending priorities: "Instead of spending £51 million on a botched Park & Ride, £11 million on Oxford's low-traffic management systems and £6 million on a 'mini-Holland, cycle-friendly' roundabout, Lib Dem Councillors should be investing in our roads." The poster also includes a statement about the candidate: "Adam has a strong record of putting the practical in local politics and putting residents' concerns first." There appears to be additional text at the bottom that's partially cut off, likely explaining what he will do if elected as County Councillor.
