County, District and Parish Council responsibilities

Different tiers of local government are responsible for different things in our community and the diagram above shows how the Parish Council works with the South Oxfordshire District Council and the Oxfordshire County Council and other agencies to deliver your services.

Goring-on-Thames Parish Council (GPC) represents everyone in the civil parish of Goring-on-Thames, South Oxfordshire (see map of the Parish).  GPC makes decisions on behalf of, and represents the interests of, the people in the parish. It is the level of local government closest to the community.

The Council consists of

  • The clerk and her team –  Deputy Clerk,  Grounds & Facilities Manager, Grounds & Facilities Assistant
  • Up to ten parish councillors elected every four years (next election May 2027) – currently we have 4 elected and 6 co-opted unpaid Councillors

The Full Council meet regularly, as do the various committees including Planning Committee, Finance Committee, Travel and Transport Committee, Playgrounds & Recreation spaces Committee, Staffing Committee, and Sheepcot Committee.
