West Oxfordshire businesses in the retail, hospitality, and leisure sectors will continue to benefit from Business Rates relief in the 2025/26 financial year, helping them face ongoing economic pressures through a reduction in their business rates. 

West Oxfordshire District Council is taking action to tackle the rising challenges of homelessness and housing insecurity. The Council will recruit two additional Housing Officers to support people facing homelessness and help manage the growing number of homelessness cases.  

The start of a new year is the perfect opportunity to start 2025 strong and focus on building healthy habits. Our leisure centre’s doors are open and we’re excited to help you reconnect with your fitness goals, meet new people, and enjoy a wide range of exciting activities.  

West Oxfordshire District Council is committed to working with other council partners across Oxfordshire to explore options for reforming local government structures after the Government English Devolution White Paper was published in December 2024. 

West Oxfordshire District Council is making strides in addressing the district’s housing crisis by boosting the supply of affordable and social rented homes with 240 social rented homes to be delivered over the current and next financial year. It is also looking to create more temporary accommodation to help those who find themselves without a home.
