Oxon County Council letter to Robert Jenrick MP December 10, 2019
Oxon County Council Leader Cllr Ian Hudspeth writes to Secretary of State for Housing, Communities & Local Government Robert Jenrick MP
In the letter Cllr Hudspeth states that “Oxfordshire does not support the building of the Expressway irrespective of which route is chosen.”
However, he also writes “The delivery of the railway line will ensue the delivery of the growth and housing required,”.
Does this mean Cllr Ian Hudspeth and / or the Oxon County Council supports doubling housing stock in Oxfordshire and the total, grossly over-inflated, housing target of 1 million new houses by 2050 across the Ox-Cam Arc? Is this confirmation of what Grant Shapps told BBC Oxford, that Local Authorities have said the housing can be delivered with or without the expressway?
Cllr Ian Hudspeth wrote this letter as a requirement of the motion to oppose the Ox-Cam Expressway which was passed at Oxfordshire County Council meeting on 5th November.
