Representing and providing services to the residents and businesses of Banbury, Bicester, Kidlington and the rural parishes of north Oxfordshire. We are working to implement four priorities: •A cleaner, greener Cherwell •Cherwell, a district of opportunity •A safe, healthy and thriving district •Cherwell, an accessible value for money council In addition to its locational strengths, Cherwell contains unique drivers for business competitiveness such as Begbroke Science Park (University of Oxford), Banbury & Bicester College and London Oxford Airport. 6,000 businesses are already thriving in north Oxfordshire including Prodrive, Karcher, EP Barrus, Mondelez and Fresh Direct. Recent inward investors creating their main base here include Stewart Group and The Entertainer. The Local Plan has allocated land for over 22,000 new homes by 2031 and employment land to provide for a similar number of additional jobs. Everybody can gain help into employment through the local Job Club network. Support for business growth is also available through the Cherwell-M40 Investment Partnership - www.cherwell-m40.co.uk
