  • Oxfordshire: a Trailblazer for the UK Economy
    Oxfordshire: a trailblazer for the UK economy 2018 Future State Assessment DECEMBER 2018 A GUIDE TO THE SUITE OF OXFORDSHIRE INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY DOCUMENTS We have produced three reports which, taken together, set an understanding of the current Oxfordshire economy, its future growth potential and how we can work together to deliver the opportunities we have identified. Further information about what you can expect from each report is set out below. The Baseline Economic Review is an objective assessment of Oxfordshire’s economic performance to date. It explores how Oxfordshire has performed relative to the UK as a whole, as well as the relative performance of each district authority and different types of businesses and sectors within the county. This report provides detailed economic and spatial analysis that has helped us to shape and prioritise future plans for inclusive growth, productivity improvements and place-based developments, which are set out in the Oxfordshire Industrial Strategy. The Future State Assessment sets out what Oxfordshire has the potential to achieve. It introduces the context for why we are aspiring to be a top three global innovation ecosystem and what this means for Oxfordshire, as well as detail on the key industries in which Oxfordshire can be globally competitive. It details an ambitious economic growth agenda for Oxfordshire, along with the counterfactual ‘do nothing’ scenario that discusses the risks we face if we do not initiate a step change in growth. Finally this report sets out a spatial vision for Oxfordshire, to ensure that growth in Oxfordshire is achievable and sustainable. The Oxfordshire Industrial Strategy is the overall plan to deliver inclusive growth across Oxfordshire, drive productivity and innovation, and generate additional growth for the UK.

  • The Iron Age Settlement at Highworth Road, Shrivenham in Context
    The Iron Age Settlement at Highworth Road, Shrivenham in Context. (Part 2) Margaret Andrews May 2020 So to the Highworth Road excavations. The final report on this is due soon and I don’t propose to try to second guess what the results are. In essence as many who went to visit the dig or went to the talk afterwards will know, the findings were of a small mostly middle Iron Age settlement, consisting of roundhouses, extending along the ridgeline overlooking the present village position, which seems to extend into the Roman period. In addition Neil has some excellent aerial shots of the site as it was being dug. But what does all of that mean? When was the Iron Age, and in particular the middle Iron Age? What are round houses? Who lived in such a settlement? Was this a site all on its own or was there other Iron Age activity in this area? Dating In Southern Britain the Iron Age is generally taken to start around 700BC, and ends with the Roman invasion of 43AD. Iron working in the Near East had started about 1200BC but the technology took time to travel West. And as with the start of the Bronze Age, the people did not immediately throw out their existing tools and start using iron ones, the transition would have been gradual. Indeed many of the changes seen in Britain during the Iron Age started in the late Bronze Age somewhere around 1200BC. You may well hear archaeologists hedge their bets by talking about some features being “late Bronze Age/early Iron Age”.
