ON THE one hand, it’s reassuring that a council blunder which doubled the cost of bus travel for workers at the Churchill Hospital in Headington only came to light thanks to an eagle-eyed Oxford Mail reader getting in touch.

On the other, why couldn’t Oxfordshire County Council have got it right in the first place? And more worrying still, what if no-one had uncovered the blunder in the first place?

Let’s hope this reminds the council to properly dot its ‘i’s’ and cross its ‘t’s’.
