Oxford has been spared the worst of the recession and has not seen the high levels of unemployment seen in many other parts of the country. The city’s economy has continued to benefi t from our two highly successful universities, a health sector that is a centre of national excellence, Join continued growth of tourism and the visitor economy, the publishing industry, and an expanding high tech sector based on a large number of small ‘start-up’ companies. In order to build on our successful growth over the past decade, the City Council is working with the County Council, the other four Oxfordshire Districts, the Local Enterprise Partnership, the universities and the ‘big science’ facilities at Harwell and Culham, to submit a ‘City Deal’ bid the to the government during the summer. Eight ‘City Deals’ were launched last year in the major English conurbations, and Oxford and Oxfordshire are among the 20 in the second wave that are expected to be concluded before the end of 2013. Each ‘Deal’ is different, but they all involve an agreement from Whitehall to hand over certain powers to local City Deal Boards and to allocate to those Boards funds festival fun that would otherwise have been spent by Whitehall departments. Our bid to the government is based on CHRISTMAS Light Festival weekend from events and a day of song on Sunday. fostering the potential growth of science based industries, 22-24 November 2013 provides a spectacular Each day of the Festival also hosts our linked to knowledge ‘hubs’ in Harwell/Culham/Milton Park, curtain-raiser to eight weeks of fun-fi lled Victorian fairground and festive market in St Oxford and the Begbroke and Magdalen Science Parks entertainment in Oxford.

    Engagement with the communities of Oxford and Oxfordshire Did you know? St Giles’ Fair began as the parish feast of St Giles, first recorded in 1624. From the 1780s it became a toy fair, with general amusements for children. In the next century its focus shifted towards adults, with entertainment, rides and stalls. In the late 1800s there were calls for the fair to be stopped on the grounds that it encouraged rowdy behaviour. During Victorian times engineering advances brought the forerunners of today’s rides. Today the huge pieces of machinery fill St Giles’ with sparkling lights for a few days each year, and whizz within feet of ancient college buildings. The stone heads around the Sheldonian Theatre now number thirteen (there were originally fourteen, but one was removed to make way for the adjoining Clarendon Building.) It is not known what they were intended to represent – they might be gods, wise men, emperors or just boundary markers. The original heads were made by William Byrd and put up in 1669. Did you Replacements put up in 1868 were made in poor stone, know? which crumbled away; in 1972 the current set, carved by Michael Black of Oxford, were erected.
