The Constitution sets out the rules and
procedures under which the council operates.
The Constitution has the important purpose of
providing a guide for local people, businesses and other
organisations to understand how the council's decision-making
works. It is also a handbook for the councillors and staff who are
directly involved in the business of the council. The Constitution
has been formally approved by the council and will be kept under
review and updated from time to time.
The governance model

Oxfordshire County Council works subject to the provisions of
the Constitution.
