A new vision designed to shape a thriving, sustainable, and connected future for north Oxfordshire residents and businesses has been launched by Cherwell District Council.
The vision and accompanying strategy will guide the district’s progress over the next five years, focusing on areas such as economic prosperity, community leadership and environmental stewardship, along with quality housing and place making.
The plan was shaped with input from residents and businesses. It aims to help ensure the Cherwell district continues to be a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking place to live, work, visit and invest.
The strategy sets out priorities to enhance town centres and rural villages, support local businesses, promote sustainability, improve housing options, and strengthen communities
Councillor David Hingley, Leader of the Council, said: “Our new vision sets out a clear and ambitious direction for Cherwell. We want to create a district where businesses can thrive, communities feel empowered and supported, and residents can access quality housing and enjoy a clean, green environment. This strategy is about taking action to shape a better future, delivering real benefits for everyone who calls Cherwell home.
“Our vision is to be a modern council inspiring and enabling positive, lasting change.”
In a public consultation 66 percent of participants supported the vision statement and an average of 82 percent endorsed its strategic priorities.
The council says it is transforming how it works by becoming more insight-driven, digitally enabled, and financially sustainable.
