West Oxfordshire has been named the top performing rural district in the UK following the release of the 2025 national Council Climate Action Scorecards, a significant achievement that highlights our collective commitment to reducing carbon emissions and building climate resilience across the district.

West Oxfordshire District Council is set to launch three new business support grants aimed at energising local enterprise and strengthening the district’s economy, with capital funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF). 

West Oxfordshire District Council is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of the Community Activity Grant (CAG) for 2025–2026, offering £22,000 in funding to support local projects that strengthen community ties and promote collective action.

West Oxfordshire District Council has published its latest quarterly report, showing that essential services, from planning and bin collections to leisure and customer services, continue to perform strongly, despite the challenges of growing demand and national financial pressures.  

Residents, businesses, and community organisations are being invited to give their views on proposals for a new larger local council covering the present areas of Cherwell, West Oxfordshire, and Oxford City.
