The attached letter from Eric Pickles is simple and to the point: the abolition of RSSs.
Already two Tory councils are either withdrawing or about to withdraw their core strategies.
South Oxfordshire council will remove the core strategy from the agenda of its cabinet meeting this week.
West Oxfordshire said it will "be reviewing its position in relation to the core strategy and is awaiting further information and guidance from government."
This effectively leaves a political planning vacuum and we are really in uncharted territory. We have to see what emerges from the department in the coming weeks and months.
Curtin&Co will be monitoring this situation closely and posting regular updates on this blogspot under our 'PickleWatch' program.
