If Cameron really cares about Oxford council services, he’s welcome to join our protest
Earlier this week the PM criticised Oxfordshire’s cuts to front-line services. A group of local activists fighting the closure of 44 children’s centres are keen to ensure he understands it’s a lifeline that’s being destroyed

 

IN September, our Conservative County Council announced proposals to close all 44 children’s centres in the county, along with the seven early intervention hubs that support vulnerable children and families aged six to 19.

We are a group of parents, grandparents and local residents who are afraid about what will happen if these cuts destroy our communities.
