Decision details

Cllr Duncan Enright – West Oxfordshire District Council

Cllr Enright provided an update on the District Council’s budget setting process.  The Council was beginning some difficult budgetary years as the mid-term plan indicated that there were shortfalls in funding.  Most of the savings made by the restructuring process had now been achieved and the pandemic had also impacted the budget.

Cllr Rosa Bolger – West Oxfordshire District Council

Cllr Bolger advised that a new Covid-19 test centre was under construction at the Woodford Way car park in town.  Officers had been working hard.  Residents had expressed concern at the loss of parking and so members had pushed hard for extra signage to signpost the top two levels of Marriott’s Walk Car Park.  Cllr Bolger also reported that a close eye would be kept on the surrounding residential roads to ensure that people did not park their cars there instead.

RESOLVED:          that the updates be noted.
