Eynsham Parish Council is the closest tier or local governance and democracy, to the community. It currently sits below West Oxfordshire District Council and Oxfordshire County Council.
We are responsible for managing our own budget, which is financed through the precept. The precept is an amount we estimate the Council will need for the coming financial year. It's collected as part of your Council Tax and the money is used to improve facilities and services for local people. Parish councils can also apply for other funding, such as grants and awards.

What we do
Eynsham Parish Council has a range of power and duties in relation to our community. These powers have been legislated across many years and includes the Localism Act of 2011.
We make decisions on our activities in collaboration with residents and community groups. This helps us to best meet the needs of Eynsham.
This engagement heped us form our Strategic Plan for 2025-2027.
Civility & Respect
In September 2025 we voted to support the Civility & Respect Pledge; there is no place for bullying, harassment or intimidation within the Parish Council. View our certificate.
Alongside this we provide learning and development opportunities for new and experienced councillors and staff.
