OXFORD - The results are in!
Over 1,400 people participated in Oxford County's 2027 budget survey and submitted close to 700 comments and suggestions.

The top three county services noted for improvement include housing, long-term care at Woodingford Lodge, and child care at EarlyON.

It was followed by Active Living - parks, trails and recreation, affordable housing, snow and ice control, Instrastructure - roads, bridges and stormwater, Social issues - poverty, long-term care, and Safe Communities - paramedic services.
