flag Oxfordshire and Berkshire councils push for a new mayoral authority to boost regional growth with devolved powers.

flag Plans are moving forward to establish a Mayoral Strategic Authority for parts of Oxfordshire and Berkshire, following a joint bid from South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse councils. flag The proposed body would install a directly elected mayor with devolved powers over transport, housing, economic development, and skills to improve regional coordination. flag Swindon has shown interest but is excluded due to differing police, health, and economic structures. flag Boundaries are still under discussion, and the government is also considering reorganizing Oxfordshire’s councils into unitary authorities, though local councils would continue running day-to-day services such as social care and waste collection.
