A Vision For Lasting Change 2025-2030

Introducing a modern council for lasting change

Cherwell District Council is dedicated to inspiring and enabling positive, lasting change for our residents and communities. Our vision is to be a modern, forward-thinking council that embraces opportunities and addresses challenges with innovation and collaboration.

Our strategy focuses on what we aim to achieve for our residents and communities, driving continued progress through four vital priorities:

  1. Economic prosperity
  2. Community leadership
  3. Environmental stewardship
  4. Quality housing and place making

Each themed priority outlines specific aims and commitments to demonstrate how we plan to enrich Cherwell for everyone.

Transforming how we work to deliver more

To help us achieve our vision, we are also transforming how we work. We are maximising the value of every pound to deliver our priorities. By being insight-driven and digitally enabled, we are making services more efficient and customer-focused, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our residents. Our staff are at the heart of this change. Empowered by a values-led, performance-driven culture, we are unlocking their potential to achieve great things. This smarter approach keeps us financially aware, responsive to community needs, and ready for the future.
