We are delighted to report that Oxford City Council re-designated WNF as a Neighbourhood Forum under the terms of the Localism Act of 2011, at their meeting of Cabinet on 10 July 2024. This is required by the Act every five years, for us to retain the rights and responsibilities of a Neighbourhood Forum. Before making this decision, the Council held a six week public consultation that, we are pleased to say, produced an overwhelmingly positive response. We would like to thank all those who supported us in this.
Please come to our Open Meeting & AGM and have your say at 7:45pm on Wednesday 20th November at Cutteslowe Community Centre, Wren Road, Oxford OX2 7SX: refreshments will be provided.
