A modern council inspiring and enabling positive, lasting change
Welcome to our vision and strategy for the future
At Cherwell District Council, we are united by an ambition to create “a modern council inspiring and enabling positive, lasting change”.
This plan is our commitment to every resident, community, and future generation across Cherwell.
Our district is blessed with natural beauty, a rich cultural heritage, vibrant towns, and peaceful rural villages. We are dedicated to supporting all our communities and creating a Cherwell that meets today’s diverse needs while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities.
Our vision is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and action, helping us make the most of what makes Cherwell unique. We aim to ensure these assets remain a source of pride for everyone who calls Cherwell home.
Our communities expect more than just promises: they want to see real, measurable progress on the issues that matter most. This new vision and strategy is focused on delivering positive, lasting improvement in areas like quality housing, economic opportunity, environmental stewardship, and community wellbeing.
This document lays out a roadmap for achieving these goals with transparency and accountability, working closely with our residents, businesses, and partners at every step.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we’re shaping a future we can all be proud of – one that reflects the unique character and strengths of our communities, today and for generations to come.
