Local Focus: Banbury's long-term vision

A public consultation looking to establish the long-term vision of Banbury and help make it 'the powerhouse of the region' has now ended. The Banbury Vision and Masterplan will work alongside Cherwell District Council's adopted Local Plan. It combines planned schemes with new proposals and details how transport, economy, environment and housing work together to create a sustainable market town and regional centre. The vision is made up of six interconnecting objectives that will:

• Promote Banbury as a stronger regional centre with a full range of retail, leisure, cultural, sporting and social activities
• Establish a strong economy
• Reduce congestion and improve accessibility
• Create a vibrant and attractive town centre
• Create a high quality environment and distinctive character to live and work
• Promote opportunities for local people

To deliver these, the council has highlighted that the roads, public transport network and car parking will need to be improved together with better training and higher education opportunities for local people.
