The work has to start now

The merry-go-round that is Oxford City Council has changed hands again - with Labour taking the reins once more.

The results fly in the face of the national picture, where the party suffered heavy losses at town halls across the country.

For the Liberal Democrats the night was a disaster, but hardly a surprise.

The introduction of controversial fortnightly waste collection rounds has plagued the administration - as has the defection of four of the group's councillors.

After Labour's jubilation, what the city needs is for Bob Price and his colleagues to live up to their promise and plough more money into the Oxford's ailing leisure centres, troubled recycling and waste collection services and rusting play areas.

I can't wait to hear who is to be the new Jean Fooks. They must be fighting for the honour.

bonjour a tout,
well, it seems the 'smart' folks of oxford have seen the light and sent the foolish 'fooks' packin' with the rats. 'SUPER'!!!!!!! maybe this time she will quit living in her little 'Iwonderland?' and see the reality of what she caused when she walks the streets of oxford.

un tres bonne weekend a vous.

cajunsr.
