Can we talk about money for a bit? Every year we set a budget to cover the huge range of essential services for people and communities across Oxfordshire, including children’s services, some education services, fire and rescue, libraries and museums, roads and transport planning, adult social care, trading standards, and waste disposal.
Our vision is 'thriving communities for everyone in Oxfordshire' . We listen to residents so we can continuously improve our services and provide value for money.
This weekend is your last chance to have your say on our budget before it’s voted on, so check out the proposals and let us know what you think.
