Motion from Councillor Laura Price
“The Growth Deal is set to bring £215 million to Oxfordshire as part of the agreement with Central Government to deliver homes and infrastructure.
There is a risk that many of our residents will not experience the benefit of growth and at worst a fear that there could be a negative impact on our communities.
To ensure that future growth in Oxfordshire enhances the lives and outcomes of all our residents, Council calls upon the Leader of the Council to request that the Growth Board create an Inclusive Growth Commission. Comprised of independent experts, the Commission will gather and then consider evidence from across the County and make recommendations that will inform the future approach.”
