Proposals for Governance in Oxfordshire

Ongoing discussions are being held over what local governance will look like in Oxfordshire in the coming years. The changes that are coming are necessary to meet the plans laid out in the UK Government White Paper on devolution released in December 2024.

There are currently three options being developed for local government in Oxfordshire. It is likely that all three proposals will be submitted to the Government, which will ultimately make the decision for our area.
