There has been much discussion and articles written in the press about the proposals to move towards unitary status for the 2-tier council system in Oxfordshire. Unfortunately, this led to the district councils commissioning one study with PwC and the County Council undertaking another study with Grant Thornton. The cost to taxpayers for both studies is around £100K. You can see the press article on the County Council website here.
I would urge all residents to take part in the survey on the link at the County Council's website, because it is important that the public have their say on this very important issue. It is hoped that having one council running all services for the whole county will save several million pounds in ratepayers taxes and will enable people to understand more easily where responsibility for services lie.
