Oxford City Council

Oxford City Council is focused on building a world-class city for everyone. With one of the fastest growing economies in the UK, Oxford demonstrates its global significance as a center for research, education, health, and a growing high-tech sector. It also boasts a rich heritage and cultural attractions that attract millions of visitors annually. However, Oxford faces challenges such as housing and employment land shortages, fully utilized transport infrastructure, and substantial inequalities among its residents. Oxford City Council's ambition is to transform Oxford into a world-class city for all its citizens, with priorities including a vibrant and sustainable economy, meeting housing needs, fostering strong and active communities, creating a clean and green Oxford, and ensuring an efficient and effective council. Founded in 1974, the council aims to address the demographic complexity of Oxford with its young, growing, transient, and ethnically and culturally diverse population.
