Strategic Plan
Eynsham Parish Council has developed a Strategic Plan which outlines our vision and mission as a Council, and the behaviours we commit to as Councillors. The plan also contains a list of ongoing priority projects and details on the strategies we deploy to achieve our aims.
Following a period of consultation that ended on 31 August 2025, our new Strategic Plan has been adopted by the Parish Council. The final plan, which covers the period 2025-27, is available here.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the consultation.
