Wild Oxfordshire, in collaboration with West Oxfordshire District Council, hosted the Local Environment Groups Conference: Local to Landscape Nature Recovery Action in Burford on 9 November, attracting over 70 participants from 47 environmental organisations and local groups across the county. 

West Oxfordshire District Council has been allocated an additional £222,171 in funding from Oxfordshire County Council as part of the Household Support Fund to provide further support to residents facing financial difficulties. This funding will be used to help those struggling with housing costs and council tax payments during the 2024/2025 financial year. 

Witney’s festive spirit is set to shine again this year as the Marriotts Walk Christmas Market returns for an extended run after last year’s sparkling success. Back by popular demand, the market, run by Cotswold Markets, will take place from Thursday 5 December to Sunday 8 December, offering four full days of festive treats, trinkets, and tipples for visitors to enjoy. 

West Oxfordshire District Council has pledged £218,809 to local community projects through Westhive, a platform that empowers communities to lead and raise funds for initiatives that directly improve and benefit their local areas. In the latest funding round, the Council has pledged its support to nine inspiring new projects. 

Councillor Rachel Crouch was yesterday appointed the Mental Health Champion for West Oxfordshire District Council as part of her Executive portfolio.
