SO, THE truth is out. Oxfordshire County Council could afford to offer the Dial-a-Ride for the elderly.

Are we not eligible for recompense? Why doesn’t the council revise the present amount per year? All passengers I have spoken to agree this is not adequate! I’ve used a taxi (only today) on one of my outings and have paid four times that amount!

We need to get out and meet other souls. Do the powers-that-be not think they too will grow older and probably need this service? Please, for all these in need of this service, let their minds be put at rest that it will continue.
