Oxfordshire County Council have published new proposals for a unitary authority. In response, Cllr Matthew Barber, Leader of Vale of White Horse District Council said:
“Oxfordshire County Council have always been clear that they were proposing a single Unitary Authority, which is what they have set out today. The Districts raised the debate about unitaries almost a year ago, and I have long called for the County Council to provide further details on how their proposals could work in practice, and now that they have I will consider how they would impact on local communities and public services.”
