Decision taken:

To not create a community council for the Headington area, following the results of the consultation undertaken and taking into consideration the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007, the Guidance and the recommendations from the Community Governance Review Working Group.

Council considered a report of the Head of Law and Governance setting out details of a request to create a community council in the area covered by the 2017 Headington neighbourhood plan referendum and the proposed terms of reference and consultation.

Councillor Brown, Leader of the Council, presented the report with changes to Appendix 1: Who carries out the Review?...meeting of Council in October 2019 and confirmed that an email address/ weblink would be included on the pamphlet.

Councillors for the Headington area asked that all city and county councillors in the CGR area see the draft pamphlet before it was issued.

Councillor Brown moved the recommendations which were agreed on being seconded and put to the vote.

Council resolved to agree the terms of reference for the community governance review for the Headington area as set out in the report.
