Police are appealing for help to trace a girl who went missing from a city hostel. Jayden Parkinson was last seen leaving One Foot Forward, in Iffley Road, on Tuesday afternoon last week and did not return that evening as planned.

Thames Valley Police said it was thought the 17-year-old could be still in the area.

Insp Chris Simpson said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned for Jayden’s welfare as she has little access to money and she has not been in phone contact, which is out of character for her.”

Anyone with information should call 101.
