Affordable housing and a strong economy are among the council's priorities in its four-year strategy.

The Council Strategy 2024-28 is crafted considering the Oxford City Council's five key priorities; providing affordable housing, strengthening the economy, cultivating thriving communities, creating a zero-carbon Oxford, and achieving a well-run council.

The planned work includes building several new homes, supporting the employment of the youth, tackling health disparity, and improving the quality of 8,000 council houses.

Statutory services, such as bin collection, street cleaning, licensing, housing, and planning will be continued.

The council collaborated with local partners, organisations, community groups, businesses, and residents to develop the Corporate Strategy 2024-28.

Following a public consultation on the draft strategy from January to March this year, it was endorsed by the council's cabinet on July 10.

Councillor Susan Brown, leader of Oxford City Council, said: “Oxford is world-leading in education and biotech and our city is attracting significant global investment.

“We will make sure this investment supports jobs, local businesses, housing and communities across Oxford.

“We will build a strong relationship with the new national government to work in partnership to create the opportunities and housing we need.

“Oxford is an unequal city currently, with pockets of severe deprivation. Over the next four years, we will invest in Oxford to build more new genuinely affordable homes, tackle homelessness, and improve health and wellbeing to help tackle these inequalities.”
