OXFORD City Council has agreed to increase council tax on residents by nearly £9 in 2019/20.

Councillors agreed a 2.99 per cent increase so a council tax charge for residents will be £307.80 from April. That means they'll pay £8.94 more for services than now. 

Last night, councillors were met at the Town Hall by protesters demanding more action on climate change.
