RESIDENTS have until the end of today to have their say on Oxfordshire County Council's next budget.
The council published its draft budget for 2020/21 earlier this month, which would see a 3.99 per cent council tax rise for residents – 1.99 per cent plus a further two per cent rise in the precept for adult social care.
