West Berkshire engages with the Ridgeway Council proposal
Over the summer, we travelled across the district to gather your views on the proposed creation of Ridgeway Council, a new unitary authority combining West Berkshire, South Oxfordshire and the Vale of White Horse.
This proposal responds to a government call to replace the current two-tier system with larger, more resilient councils serving around 500,000 residents.
During a six-week engagement period, we hosted three drop-in events, three information stands and one community forum, speaking directly with more than 450 residents.
Your feedback will help shape the final proposal, which is due to be submitted to the government by 28 November 2025. If approved, Ridgeway Council could be operational by 2028.
We're committed to keeping communities at the heart of this process, ensuring your voices continue to guide the development of a council that truly reflects local needs.
