I do not make a habit of writing to the press, but I was so incensed by the story on the front of last Friday’s Oxford Mail that I felt the need to respond.

So Keith Mitchell says it’s time for the authority to be nimble, responsive and cohesive. Well, my reaction to the headline ‘Heads will roll’, is that perhaps Mr Mitchell’s should be the first.

As the authority, under the control of Mr Mitchell, has the public’s money in its purse, he should have had all these priorities in place already.

Because it is not their own money they are spending, they should, in my humble opinion have been even more stringent.
