The review considered what more Oxfordshire
County Council (OCC) can do to help facilitate the economic success of market
towns both as an individual agent and in partnership with key stakeholders. The
review aimed to support district councils in achieving their visions as well as
supporting community led initiatives in market towns.
The review hoped to achieve three key
outcomes:
· to provide more
effective support by OCC for market town economies;
· to facilitate more
effective partnership working in Oxfordshire to support the economies of market
towns; and
· to act as an impetus to
create positive change in the near future.
The Review identified key stakeholders,
plans and activities and drew heavily on best practice in other market towns to
identify 11 key drivers of success. They identified 3 building blocks necessary
to deliver economic success: understanding the economic landscape, developing a
vision and delivering that vision. The Review also looked at Oxfordshire
specific barriers preventing market towns from emulating best practice and how
these can be overcome.
The Cabinet are RECOMMENDED,
Subject to funding approval from PfS, to
authorise the Head of Property and Head of Legal Services to enter into a
building contract with Willmott Dixon Construction Limited for the delivery of
the Oxford Academy, Mabel Prichard Special School, Adult Learning and Library
facilities and to enter into a development agreement with the Oxford Academy
Trust which will provide for the Council to dispose of the Oxford Academy upon
completion of the project by granting a 125 year lease at a peppercorn rent to
the Academy trust.

report.
The Oxfordshire Public Service Board and
Oxfordshire County Council Cabinet agreed the Local Area Agreement 2008-11 with
Government in June 2008. However, at that time it was not possible to agree
three-year targets for all the chosen indicators because of the absence of
baseline information for several targets. It was agreed that these gaps would
be filled during the first year of the agreement through a review and refresh
process.
The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to
(a) approve
the targets subject to final negotiations with GOSE (separate paper sent in
advance of the meeting); and
(b) authorise
the Leader
