Business and economic development 

Henley

To support a thriving Henley, South Oxfordshire District Council is working in partnership with Henley Town Council and the Henley Partnership.

Our partners

The Henley-on-Thames Partnership is a not-for-profit organisation set up to identify, plan and run collaborative projects benefiting the town of Henley. It aims to ensure that:

Henley provides an environment in which people are pleased to live and work, where commercial and leisure opportunities flourish, which visitors find attractive and whose historic character is enhanced.

Its work is implemented through four working groups: arts & leisure; tourism; environment and commercial.

Town councils enjoy many legal powers to take action in their community, on subjects ranging from providing recreational spaces and community halls, through protection of common land, to a general power to act for the benefit of the local community. They are recognised nationally as the level of local government closest to people.
