flag Oxford considers merging or splitting local councils to tackle housing and save money, with final decisions by Nov. 28.

flag Oxford faces a major local government overhaul as the UK government considers replacing Oxfordshire’s two-tier system with one, two, or three unitary councils. flag Oxford City Council backs a three-council model, including a "Greater Oxford" council, to build homes on low-quality Green Belt land, ease housing shortages, and reduce commuting. flag Opponents, including Oxfordshire County Council, favor a single council for £63 million in annual savings and stable services. flag A two-council option is supported by several district councils for stronger local control. flag The reorganization impacts transport plans, including a temporary congestion charge and upcoming traffic filters. flag Final proposals are due by November 28.
