Green Councillors are calling on the Labour-run Oxford City Council to take a lead on corona-virus contact tracing in the City. 

Says Green Group Leader Cllr Craig Simmons, "We are ideally placed to take the lead nationally in introducing contact tracing and setting the standard for the effective containment of COVID-19. We have leading medical research facilities, testing stations and an internationally diverse, mobile population. But we need to step up to the challenge. The Council is best placed to lead on this."
