CHERWELL DISTRICT COUNCIL
Sustainability Survey for Local Businesses 2025
We’d love to hear from you. This survey is designed to help us understand what local businesses are already doing around sustainability, the challenges you face, and the kind of support that would be most useful.
What does “sustainability in business” mean?
In simple terms, it’s about running your business in a way that reduces environmental impact, supports people (employees, customers, and the local community), and helps your business thrive in the long term. Examples include saving energy, reducing waste, improving supply chains, or supporting staff wellbeing.
It should only take a few minutes to complete. All answers are confidential, and any recognition of your business’s efforts will only be shared if you’d like it to be. If you would like to keep in touch please contact us.

Oxfordshire County Council – Part-Night Lighting Public Consultation is now live
Oxfordshire County Council are carrying out a public consultation on the proposed Part-Night Lighting Implementation Framework is now live on ‘Let’s Talk Oxfordshire’ Part-night lighting and street lighting policy | Let's Talk Oxfordshire
The Consultation is running until midnight on Sunday 6th July.
What this consultation is about
This framework is about how part-night lighting could be implemented in Oxfordshire. It is not about whether part-night lighting is right for specific areas. In September 2025, the council's cabinet will decide whether or not to move forward with part-night lighting. If the decision is to proceed, we are proposing that towns, parishes or Oxford city wards apply for part-night lighting schemes in their areas and that a public consultation is carried out for each scheme.
About the framework
The draft part night lighting framework proposes to introduce part night lighting in Oxfordshire locations where:
- it is requested by the local town or parish council/meeting, or local governance authorities
- the part night lighting exemption criteria does not apply
- local residents have been consulted via a public consultation, as well as stakeholders like the police, night economy employers and community groups
- the part night lighting scheme is approved at Oxfordshire Council Council's Delegated Decision by Cabinet Member for Transport Management
