OCC - Public Consultation for Part-Night Lighting

9/6/2025

 
Part-Night Lighting Consultation

Oxfordshire County Council are seeking residents’ opinions on how to implement proposals to introduce ‘part-night lighting’ in parts of Oxfordshire where it is requested.
Oxfordshire County Council are holding a consultation to seek the public’s views on how the ‘part-night lighting’ plans should work.
People can take part in the consultation on the Part-night lighting and street lighting policy | Let's Talk Oxfordshire until 6 July.
This consultation is focussing on how, not where, part-night lighting might be implemented. Scheme locations would be a matter for communities to decide and would then be subject to a further local consultation.
Previous proposals were deferred in November 2024 after concerns were raised. As a result, the aim of the new implementation framework proposal is to give communities the choice to introduce part-night lighting in their area only if they want it.
Oxfordshire County Council want to hear people’s views and concerns, especially to help understand potential impacts on those who are perceived as being at risk from crime or harm.
The aim of the policy is to improve the natural environment from a carbon and biodiversity perspective, while keeping personal and community safety as a priority consideration. Oxfordshire County Council recognise that one size does not fit all. Different operating hours and exemptions will form part of the proposals to meet different communities’ needs. And there is no intention of reducing streetlighting in areas where there are concerns about the impact.
Oxfordshire County Council want part-night lighting to be a community choice which is why the public’s feedback is crucial in helping to get this right. The implementation process being proposed is similar to Oxfordshire’s 20mph programme.
Applications would have to be requested by the local town or parish council/meeting, or local governance authorities.
The consultation feedback on the new implementation proposal is expected to be presented for a decision by the council’s cabinet in September.
Printed copies of the consultation are available. You can request a paper copy of the consultation documents by emailing: [email protected](External link) or call the county council's Customer Services Team on 01865 792422 or download it from this page. Paper copies can also be requested at local libraries. We will provide a Freepost address on the paper survey form for you to return your completed survey.

WODC - Public Engagement now live – Help Shape the Future of Local Government in Oxfordshire

7/6/2025

 
Today we have launched a public engagement as part of the two unitary proposal for Oxfordshire and West Berkshire. This is a partnership exercise, working closely with Cherwell, South Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse and West Berkshire councils. As a group of councils we are working together to develop the two unitary proposal. 
These proposals are being developed in response to the government publishing its English Devolution White Paper at the end of last year and subsequently inviting the district councils and county council to develop proposals for unitary councils in Oxfordshire.  
This is a significant structural change that will affect how local services are delivered — from waste and housing to highways and adult care.  
We are clear that resident voices should help shape the future of local government which is why we will be asking for their feedback as we build the two unitary proposal.  
The engagement will run from 4 June to 16 July 2025 
Residents are encouraged to take part by visiting our website to find out more about the proposal and then give their views via an online survey. We will also be holding engagement events across the county, all the details will be available on the website -  twocouncils.org
