The Vale of White Horse District Council is the elected local government for the Vale of White Horse, a district in the south of Oxfordshire, England, that was created on 1 April 1974. The council has been based in temporary office accommodation at Milton Park near Didcot since mid-2015, after a fire destroyed the previous headquarters building in Crowmarsh Gifford. The Crowmarsh Gifford headquarters is actually in the neighbouring district of South Oxfordshire and was owned by South Oxfordshire District Council.[5] The Vale of White Horse District Council's committees meet at The Beacon in Wantage.
The Vale is one of five district councils in Oxfordshire, and covers an area which includes Faringdon, Abingdon, Wantage and Botley. To find out more about the district please click here.
