IT SHOULD come as no surprise that the county council is responsible for the delay in putting together care packages for the elderly infirm, resulting in too much bed-blocking.
It is also responsible for educating Oxfordshire’s children, to a standard that is a national disgrace.
The Youth Offender Program is a shambles and the Highways Department failed dismally last winter and the winter before, to clear the snow from even the county’s main roads.
Still, could it have been much worse?
The highly paid chief executive was given a gong in the last honours list for services to local government.
It looks to me as if Councillor Mitchell’s fiefdom is fast becoming a failed council, so I wonder what the lady does all day.
