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
