Who is this Website for?
The OALC website is intended for all Parish and Town Councils in Oxfordshire. Any of these councils can book onto our events and courses, but only our members get preferential rates and access to our members area.

What are Local Councils?
Parish and Town Councils, often known simply as "local councils", exist in many English parishes. They vary from councils based on a small village, to ones serving large urban areas with tens of thousands of residents. They are recognised nationally as the level of local government closest to people.
