Oxford Save Our Services, and saw the devastation caused by logging, so it is bringing its national campaign

In Buenos Aires, the Conservative-led County Council has reduced public services, while hoping for the voluntary sector take over. Local residents group Save Our Services Oxford saw the devastation in the court of David Cameron. So when the Prime Minister said he wanted private companies to be able to run all public services, decided to take our campaign nationally.

Oxford has the third highest in England by the number of vulnerable people who work in public sector jobs. However, Oxfordshire County Council is to make severe cuts, often choose to close completely the services rather than scale back. It is cutting £ 119m while providing services-off "large company" funds £ 600,000 -. The equivalent of taking 100 pounds and 50 pence return

Young people are devastated that 21 youth centers across the county are closing, despite the "kiss a hoodie" campaign and hits young workers. Many say they have nowhere where to go and get lost without young skilled workers who lose their jobs. Charlie, 18, of the individual unit of Oxford, says youth worker "has saved my life."

plans to close 20 libraries that have been delayed by a noisy campaign of angry residents in Oxfordshire, and famous authors like Philip Pullman. The council wants local people to volunteer to run, but the groups have insisted that this is not a solution.

• elderly and disabled people in Oxfordshire were hit hard by the drastic cuts in welfare. We know that people who have lost 50% of their benefits, including 100% cuts to the mobility allowance - A father tells his daughter has become "a prisoner in his own home"
• The Council accuses the militants of cuts to welfare, and insists that volunteers from the larger society appear to run libraries and youth centers. We do not believe that volunteers are alike, and I think they can not replace the professional public sector workers, so that you are supporting local strikes. We are also campaigning for companies to pay their taxes so that more money for everyone.

But we fear that another threat is on the way: the large-scale privatization. The recently published White Paper will open up public services to all utilities (except for the army and the judiciary) to be run by private companies and charities, the local authority to choose among suppliers. If the legislation goes ahead, our advice is likely that the savings at the expense of local people, lay off workers and bring in private companies, who may cut corners to offer cheaper contracts.

lived in Oxford as a child, student and adult. I like to imagine a primary school I went to the parks I played I loved the library, is in charge of companies that charge for entry, the university, responsible for enterprise, available only for wealthy students, services for children and youth, recreation and health centers, all in the game

parliamentary debate and consultation on the White Paper on the Cabinet Office focused on carefully chosen examples of social enterprises and charities that perform public services. He slipped in the fact that service users often suffered in the private acquisition.
instead of waiting for the board to privatize everything we hold dear, Oxford Save Our Services decided to work with 50 groups of anti-cuts to deal with national government policy. From October 29, we expect a "week of auctions," where groups symbolically "sell" the services and buildings across the country, ending with the "liquidation" of Parliament on November 5. Join us and help to defend public services.
