Overview -South Oxfordshire District Council Priorities for 2024-2028
What is South Oxfordshire’s Plan?
We are preparing a new plan for the next four years.
It’s very important to us that it reflects the priorities and aspirations of local residents, businesses and community groups. We really want to discuss these plans with the communities we serve to make sure we understand what you value and what areas you want us to focus on.
Background
Our current four-year plan began in 2020 and runs until October this year so we’re now setting our priorities for the next four years.
Draft themes for our new plan
Our vision is for a fairer, more inclusive South Oxfordshire where all residents can thrive both now and in the future.
Our suggested strategic themes and some examples of how we could achieve them over the next four years are set out here for discussion. Do they reflect your concerns and priorities, or have we missed anything out?
Our ‘Way Ahead’ outlines five key themes steering our existing and aspirational plans within South Oxfordshire, covering:
Theme 1: Action on climate change and nature recovery.
Theme 2: Inclusion, accessibility and accountability.
Theme 3: Thriving and healthy communities.
Theme 4: Homes and infrastructure that meet local need.
Theme 5: Financial stability and innovative transformation.
There is a bit more detail later in the survey about how we might achieve our objectives under these themes.
