Register of interests
One of the requirements in the codes both for the district council and all town and parish councils is for councillors to register specified 'interests'. The registers may be inspected at the Council Offices at Woodgreen, Witney during normal office hours. A copy of the register for a particular town or parish council may alternatively be inspected by arrangement with the clerk to that council. Please see the Town and Parish Council page for contact information.
