Welcome to Faringdon

Welcome to the Faringdon Town Council website.  We aim to provide you with all the information you require on Council activities and services and hope you will use the link to www.faringdon.org to find out more about what is happening in and around Faringdon.  We would like to acknowledge, with thanks, the granting of permission for the use of the Faringdon Walkers & Cyclists map, which is available here.
 

Faringdon is located just off the A420, 18 miles south of Oxford and 12 miles north of Swindon.   From the A420 follow signs to the town centre, where you will find two main car parks in Southampton Street (behind Budgens) and Gloucester Street (behind the Library).  The town can also be reached from Highworth on the B4019, Lechlade on the A417, Wantage on the A417 and Witney via the A4095.

Faringdon Town Council believes there are a number of areas that need to be improved to enable a better future for Faringdon. A working party "Our Faringdon,Our Future" was set up by Town Council in February 2010 in order to enable interested townspeople and local organizations to undertake research and to comment on those aspects of the draft District Council Core Strategy which affect Faringdon.

This research has now been carried out and the final report drawn up by the working party was approved by Town Council last week.  The report has now been submitted to the Vale of White Horse District Council in order that the views outlined in the report can be taken into consideration and used within the final Distrct Council core strategy before it is submitted to the Secretary of State.
