Didcot Community Forum

What is the Didcot Community Forum?

The Didcot Community Forum is a made up of representatives from a wide range of community organisations, local businesses, parish councils, South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) and the Vale of White Horse District Council. These organisations share a joint aim to make Didcot a more vibrant and exciting place to live, work and visit.

To achieve this, the Forum normally meets on a six monthly basis to discuss proposals and plans for Didcot, and to enable the Council to provide information on current developments to the community directly and receive feedback.

The Forum feeds in the views of the community to ensure that they are involved in decision making processes for the benefit of Didcot.

Most Recent Meeting

The last meeting took place on Thursday, 2 February 2012 at Didcot Civic Hall. The meeting was well attended and the Forum took part in a consultation about the growth of Didcot and the Science Vale UK area.

The consultation was faciltated by AECOM, a firm of planning consultants who have been appointed by the Council and the Vale of White Horse District Council to report on how the agreed plans for growth can be successfully delivered. AECOM's work is being funded by the Homes and Communities Agency. 

A copy of AECOM's presentation to the forum can be downloaded fron the top right side of this page.

An open public consultation event about delivering the agreed plans for growth, took place at Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot on Saturday 25 February. AECOM facilitated the consultation and more than two hundred people had a opportunity to give their views on what needs to done to make sure that the growth of Didcot is successful. Everyone was also asked to give their views on the future use of the Didcot A Power Station site and the Gateway site opposite the railway station.
