An elected Mayor would mean there is little point in Oxford having so many
Councillors. We could drastically cut their numbers. Unlike a dictator, if we
in Oxford do not like him or her, we can always vote for someone else at the
next election, as they have just done in London.
The present set up as the Audit Commission confirms Oxford is a not serving its
residents to the best of its abilities.
Oxford is not a disneyland, not everyone lives and works for the Oxford
University. You have to think of providing future jobs for those that do not.
The city is home to around 3,300 businesses providing 108,000 jobs. Seven of
the ten largest employers in Oxfordshire are based in Oxford. 88% of employees
work in services, including 19% in retail, hotel and catering.
