Local Government Reorganisation
Written by Cllrs Tessa Ward and Chris Wise and published in Local Parish newsletter on Wed 17th Jan 2007
Things are hotting up on the local government reorganisation front, with 25 January the deadline for bids for changes from two tier (three-tier in areas like ours with parish councils as well) to unitary status. Oxfordshire County Council has agreed not to support the proposal from Oxford City Council for a unitary City Council. It is a firm requirement of the White Paper that proposals must not cross current boundaries, so it has to be stressed that there are no plans for a 'greater City' in the proposals going forward. It is also a requirement that bids should indicate possible arrangements for other areas affected and the City is suggesting that a solution for the rest of Oxfordshire might be two further unitaries consisting of the Vale of White Horse District Council with South Oxfordshire District Council and Cherwell District Council with West Oxfordshire District Council.
