Cherwell District
Council’s representative on the Oxfordshire Leaders Joint
Committee is Councillor David Hingley, Leader of the Council. The
named substitute is Councillor Lesley McLean, Deputy Leader of the
Council.
The Oxfordshire Leaders Joint
Committee (OLJC) (formerly the Future Oxfordshire Partnership) is a
joint committee of the six councils of Oxfordshire
(“constituent authorities”) formed to enable and
facilitate the Constituent members working together to deliver the
aims of the Strategic Vision for Sustainable Development in
Oxfordshire which all six councils have
adopted.
The Oxfordshire Leaders Joint
Committee will:
- Coordinate local
efforts to manage economic, housing and infrastructure development
in a way that is inclusive and maximises local social and
environmental benefits;
- Support the
development of local policy that meets the UK Government’s
stated aim of net zero carbon by 2050, and contributes towards
biodiversity gain whilst embracing the changes needed for a low
carbon world; and,
- Seek to secure
funding in the pursuit of these aims and oversee the delivery of
related work programmes delegated to it by the joint
committee’s constituent local authority members.
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. The OLJC also has an important role in
representing Oxfordshire on matters of regional
interest.
The OLJC meets six times a year
to discuss issues facing Oxfordshire’s future, most often in
a non-decision making capacity. It is supported by task and finish
groups that work on specific projects and a small team of officers
who are tasked with delivering on elements of the Joint Committee's
work programme.
