West Oxford Community Plan

What is the project?

People living and working in West Oxford have the chance to look with 'fresh eyes' at the area and contribute to the development of a local community action plan. The plan will identify the issues of interest for people in this area and will look at ways to tackle them.

The community plan will:

• show what local people think the priorities for change and improvement are 
• set out a vision of how the community wants to develop in the short, medium and long term
• identify the action needed to reach these goals

Some of the actions in the plan will include:

• Creating a community flood plan
• Lobbying for improved traffic and speed management
• Improving social inclusion

Getting Involved

Members of the community can take on some of the actions in the plan; others may need the help and support of partners such as:

• Oxford City Council
• Oxfordshire County Council
• local businesses
• voluntary organisations

We are looking for volunteer help from anyone or any local group to:

• Get involved - from spending a few hours on one particular task to being part of a work group
• Open doors to existing local groups and organisations
• Provide local community knowledge on one particular or on a number of issues

Partner Organisations

We would like to involve as many people and organisations as possible in the West Oxford Community group. Partner organisations so far include:

• West Oxford Community Centre
• West Oxford Primary School
• Osney Island Residents Association
• Elim Church
• St. Frideswide Church
• and local residents not affiliated with an organisation
