Oxfordshire County Council Leader Keith Mitchell said: "We are delighted to be supporting this exciting event which will run from Oxford for the first time this year. The city has a proud history of car manufacturing and Oxfordshire is home to a wide range of research and business interests in the development of low carbon transport. More widely we are also leading the way as a hub for hi-tech industry and scientific innovation."

About the People

Cllr Keith Mitchell OBE is leader of Oxfordshire County Council and has put Oxfordshire on the map locally, regionally and nationally. His political philosophy is based on belief in the market, less government, encouraging individual responsibility and ensuring that public services are run for the benefit of their users and not their providers. Cllr Mitchell is proud to be politically incorrect. Being Leader of the Council is more than a full-time job but, when he can find time to relax, he enjoys good food and wine, playing the piano (badly) and reading avidly – particularly histories and biographies.

About the Organisation

Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for providing many key local services and employs over 20,000 people to deliver them. Each year the council manages £845 million of public money in the provision of these services on behalf of Oxfordshire's 615,000 people. This includes schools, social services, the fire service, roads, libraries and the museums service, trading standards, land use, transport planning and waste management.
