Oxfordshire County Council Cabinet member for Adult Social Care Tim Bearder has sent a strongly worded letter to the government over the impact of proposed immigration changes on care services, warning that this means fewer services at higher cost, putting care services at risk.

I am so concerned about the way this Government is treating overseas workers in the Care sector I have written to the Minister of State for Care urging him to change direction.

We were delighted to join partners at the official opening of Fern Meadows in Faringdon – a brand‑new extra care housing scheme helping people aged 55+ live independently, with care and support on hand when needed. Watch the video below to meet some of the residents and see inside 👇

I heard a great quote by Wayne Hemingway about why people object to development. Not because they don't want homes to live in but because we've put it all in the hands of profiteers who build crap, where we don't want them, without infrastructure for maximum profit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

📽️ Footage from the devastating Sept 2024 floods in Wheatley. The official report confirms what locals knew: blocked drains, surface water & overwhelmed sewers made it worse. Some action’s begun but urgent steps are still needed Thanks to Cllr Tim Bearder & Alison Sercombe for keeping up the pressure

Really hope we can deliver a sensible outcome here

It's election time and the Conservatives are trying to shift the blame for their own failings. Over successive years central government has given local authorities a fraction of what it costs to maintain the roads and now they want to blame @libdems.org.uk @eddavey.libdems.org.uk ...

What has this Government been doing for the last 14 years?! Wes Streeting's plan to have a plan lacks the urgency needed to tackle the immediate social care crisis left by the Conservatives including the chronic shortage of trained care workers.
