Mayor Dave Hodgson calls for residents to be put first

At a meeting of Full Council last night, Mayor Dave Hodgson presented an update on the Oxford-Cambridge Arc calling for the government to prioritise infrastructure for existing residents over building thousands of new homes. Mayor Dave said "The government have taken the local authorities and residents in the Arc for granted. We have met their high house building targets consistently and they have failed to provide any significant funding for infrastructure projects that would benefit existing residents. We have a proposed a number of projects that would improve transport links, traffic decongestion and health service provision, yet we have not seen any money to complete these schemes."
