Didcot Community Forum

What is the Didcot Community Forum?

The Didcot Community Forum is a made up of representatives from a wide range of community organisations, local businesses, parish councils, South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) and Vale of White Horse District Council. These organisations share a joint aim to make Didcot a more vibrant and exciting place to live, work and visit.

To achieve this, the Forum normally meets on a six monthly basis to discuss proposals and plans for Didcot, and to enable the council to provide information on current developments to the community directly and receive feedback.

The Forum feeds in the views of the community to ensure that they are involved in decision making processes for the benefit of Didcot.
