Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Oxfordshire and are not the council. About us

The Remuneration Committee of Oxfordshire Council is scheduled to meet on Tuesday 05 May 2026. The agenda includes the approval of previous minutes and discussions on exempt items related to local government reorganisation and an interim director role.

Exempt Minutes

The committee is scheduled to consider and approve the minutes from a previous meeting held on 22 January 2026 that contain exempt information. This information is considered confidential and is exempt under the Local Government Act 1972, specifically relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person. The public interest in maintaining this exemption is considered to outweigh the public interest in disclosure.

Local Government Reorganisation - System Wide Interim Director Role

A report is scheduled for discussion concerning a Local Government Reorganisation - System Wide Interim Director Role . The information pertaining to this item is also exempt from public disclosure. This exemption is due to the potential for revealing the identity of an individual and information relating to the financial or business affairs of a particular person. As with the exempt minutes, the public interest in maintaining the exemption is deemed to outweigh the public interest in disclosure.

The committee's previous meeting on 22 January 2026 also included discussions on exempt matters, where a decision was deferred on one item pending further information and consultation. The minutes of that meeting are available for approval.

The committee members include Councillor Liz Leffman (Leader of the Council), Councillor Neil Fawcett (Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Resources), Councillor Liz Brighouse OBE (Leader of the Opposition Group Labour & Cooperative), Councillor Gareth Epps, Councillor Andy Graham, Councillor James Robertshaw (Shadow Cabinet Member for Adults), and Colm Ó Caomhánaigh. Councillor Liz Leffman is listed as Chair, and Councillor Neil Fawcett as Deputy Chair.

The meeting is scheduled to take place in the Members Board Room at County Hall, New Road, Oxford OX1 1ND, and will be live-streamed. Attendees are reminded of the guidance on declaring interests, which includes disclosable pecuniary interests and other registrable interests, as outlined in the Members' Code of Conduct.
