Oxfordshire Councils Charter

To receive a verbal update from the Town Clerk/C.E.O.

Minutes:

The Committee received a verbal update from the Town Clerk/C.E.O following a meeting attended by herself and the Chair at Oxford County Hall.

 

Members heard the County Council were spearheading the Charter which outlined how all local tiers of authorities should communicate and work together for the benefit of residents.

 

The Town Clerk would issue a survey inviting individual responses on the project consultation which closed in December. A draft charter was expected in January 2024 and would be discussed again by the Council in due course.

 

Members agreed it was a vitally important project which would give smaller parishes a voice, including the town council, that are sometimes left unheard.

 

Resolved:

 

1.      That, the report be noted.
