Working together to shape Charlbury’s future
The Charlbury Town Council Engagement Working Group is here to strengthen connections between the Council and the people who live, work, and run businesses in our town. We want to make it easier for everyone to have their say, stay informed, and get involved.
What We’re About
Our Engagement Group exists to:
- Involve as many residents as possible in local decisions
- Work closely with community groups, businesses, and the District and County Councils
- Raise awareness of what the Town Council does
- Listen to your views – and act on them
- Help build a more active, informed, and connected Charlbury
We believe that good decisions are made when they’re informed by the people they affect. That’s why we’re committed to ongoing, inclusive, and meaningful community engagement.
Who We Are
The Engagement Working Group is made up of Town Councillors who bring local knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm to our engagement efforts. While we don’t make decisions on behalf of the Council, we work together to shape how the Council communicates, consults, and connects with the community.
What We’re Working On
In spring 2025, we ran our second Town Survey – thank you to everyone who took part! We’re now:
- Analysing the results of what you told us
- Creating an Action Plan based on your feedback
- Preparing to share the results publicly in the summer
We’ll also be at the Charlbury Street Fair in September to continue the conversation about:
- What you told us
- What we’ve done
- What we are planning to do
Pop by our stall to chat, share your views, or find out more about the Town Council’s work!
