Short answer

Witney is the largest town in this network, and most of its homes are modern. The old centre around Church Green and the Buttercross is in the Witney and Cogges conservation area. West Oxfordshire District Council handles planning. Parts of the town near the River Windrush flooded in July 2007, so flood risk shapes many jobs.

Estates and the old centre

Large estates such as Madley Park and Deer Park have concrete tile roofs and modern consumer units. Common jobs there are loose ridge tiles, flat roofs on extensions, new circuits and EV chargers. The older stone houses in the centre have stone slate, clay tiles or Welsh slate, and many are listed. The council designated the conservation area in 1968.

Flood risk near the Windrush

The Environment Agency found that about 240 properties in Witney flooded in July 2007, about 120 of them in the town centre. If your home is at risk, ask a roofer to check that gutters and downpipes run into clear drains. Ask an electrician about a higher consumer unit and raised sockets on the ground floor.

Scaffolds and the network

A scaffold on the road or pavement needs a licence from Oxfordshire County Council. SSEN runs the power network in the town.

Mostly mains gas

In the 2021 Census, 77.6 per cent of households in the 5 Witney wards used mains gas alone. DESNZ estimates that 24.6 per cent of homes in West Oxfordshire had no gas connection in 2024. Villages around Witney use much more oil than the town.
