Corporate Strategy 2024-28

In March 2024, we asked for your comments and feedback on the highest priority areas for the Council in the next four years. We wanted to know whether these are the right issues and actions for the Council to focus on.

The Council Strategy 2024-28 sets the approach we will take over the next four years to achieve our vision for Oxford, with the city’s economy continuing to grow through science and tech and being a thriving place for independent businesses. We will nurture strong inclusive communities and be a welcoming and supportive place for people from all backgrounds to work, live and visit.

You provided us with valuable feedback. You said that housing was the most important issue for you, with the economy and thriving communities your next most important issues.

A number of our respondents also provided extra comments on your priorities. The most common issues related to traffic and transport issues, particularly LTNs (Low Traffic Neighbourhoods) and public transport, which are the responsibility of Oxfordshire County Council.

Based on your feedback, the responses to the consultation showed overall agreement with the priorities we have focused on in our Council Strategy 2024 to 2028, and no significant changes were made.

Although there were a number of comments relating to traffic, transport and LTNs, these fall under the responsibility of the Oxfordshire County Council as the Highways Authority, and we are not able to develop in-depth policy on transport. Our strategy has committed to using our influence to improve public transport and supporting cycling and active travel, which bring benefits to travel and health in the city.
