One Oxfordshire
Our preferred choice as Oxfordshire County Council is One Oxfordshire.
This bold proposal means all council services would come together into a single new council, Oxfordshire Council.
The government’s vision is to make local government simpler, clearer and more efficient. Our belief is One Oxfordshire delivers on this vision and is the best future for Oxfordshire – one place to get help. One place for your question. One place to get it done.
