Economic Development Framework and Action Plan

The South Oxfordshire economic development framework and action plan covers the period 2010 to 2013 and outlines the economic development activity in the district over this period.

Whilst the council takes the lead on implementing the action plan, it works with all stakeholders in the district, including businesses, individuals and other partners to ensure effective delivery.  A steering group of stakeholders has been established to implement and review the framework and action plan. These steering group members are ambassadors of the action plan within the wider business community.

The original framework and action plan for 2010-2013 is available to download from the right of this page. Each year, a review of the original action plan is undertaken to ensure the action plan reflects the current priorities for the economy of South Oxfordshire.  The year two action plan is also available to download from the right of this page.  The priorities for 2011-2012 are:

• to strengthen and support the current strong base of local businesses
• to encourage an appropriately skilled workforce and local job opportunities, prioritising additional high value employment
• to promote South Oxfordshire as an attractive place to do business.

Feedback and comments on the action plan can be sent to economic.development@southoxon.gov.uk. These will be considered as part of the annual review process.
