Purpose of the Oxfordshire Growth Board
The
Growth Board is a joint committee of the six councils of
Oxfordshire together with key strategic partners. It has been set
up to facilitate and enable joint working on economic development,
strategic planning and growth. It does this by overseeing the
delivery of projects that the councils of Oxfordshire are seeking
to deliver collaboratively in the fields of economic development
and strategic planning.
It
also oversees all the projects agreed in the City Deal and Local
Growth Deals that fall to the councils, working collaboratively, to
deliver and has an overall responsibility to manage these
programmes of work alongside the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise
Partnership (OxLEP). Finally it also
exists to advise on matters of collective interest, seek agreement
on local priorities and influence relevant local, regional and
national bodies.
