Decisions at County Hall

Tuesday was a busy day at County Hall with more discussion on Oxfordshire County Council's budget cuts as part of the Conservatives 'themed debate' entitled 'What Sort of Council Do We Want?' This may be the last of these themed debates as the ruling group propose to axe them after just one year of doing this as a way of trying to improve democracy. The conclusion appears to be that there has been nothing useful which has happened as a result of them. So is the County Council listening to our views?

Two decisions which were taken at the meeting which were good news for Liberal Democrats in Opposition was that the coalition government 'pupil premium' proposals were welcomed and the bureaucracy to councils would be reduced under new government legislation. Read these stories on the Oxfordshire Lib Dem website. Nothing much changes in Oxfordshire but we might be having an impact nationally one would hope!
