A COUNCIL will consider tomorrow night whether to buy temporary accommodation for homeless people in its region for the first time.

South Oxfordshire District Council’s scrutiny committee will examine the options before a final decision is made.

The authority does not currently own any accomodation and houses temporarily homeless people in hotels or using units owned by neighbouring Vale of White Horse District Council.

The session will be held at 135 Milton Park from 6.30pm and members of public are welcome to attend.
