"While I understand the leadership at Oxfordshire County Council was disappointed by the Government's preference for three unitary councils, I don't think it should be spending public money on a legal challenge.
"We look forward to the government completing its review of its July three-unitary decision for Oxfordshire and West Berkshire, so that all councils can get back to working together to make local government simpler, clearer and better value for residents.
"The three-council model selected by the government will give Oxfordshire and West Berkshire the tools needed to tackle the housing crisis and create well-paid, secure jobs. We remain focused on delivering those benefits and making Oxford and the wider area more affordable for future generations."
Councillor Susan Brown, Leader of Oxford City Council
