The Oxfordshire Leaders (“Joint
Committee”) serves as a platform for local authorities to
collaborate on the Oxfordshire Strategic Vision. It will engage
with the government on devolution and growth, focusing on creating
an inclusive and sustainable economy. The Committee will address
key priorities where joint working between the councils is
essential, including devolution, economic strategy, spatial
planning, growth, infrastructure strategy, energy plans, and the
Net Zero Route Map.
The Oxfordshire Leaders Joint Committee
replaces the Future Oxfordshire Partnership. On 28 January 2025,
Leaders of Oxfordshire Constituent Authorities endorsed the change
of name of the Future Oxfordshire Partnership to the Oxfordshire
Leaders Joint Committee, new Terms of Reference, and a Memorandum
of Understanding. These will now take effect following approval by
each council Cabinet.
The Joint Committee is formed of the
Constituent Councils, being the six councils of Oxfordshire:
Cherwell District Council, Oxford City Council, South Oxfordshire
District Council, Vale of White Horse District Council, West
Oxfordshire District Council and Oxfordshire County
Council.
