Oxfordshire tobacco control strategy 2026-2030

Tell us your ambitions, priorities and suggestions to make Oxfordshire a smokefree county.


Smoking is a behaviour known to increase the risk of serious illness and premature death and stopping smoking is the best thing an individual can do for their health and well-being. A broad range of services are in place to prevent people from taking up smoking in the first place and to support those who smoke tobacco to quit, and these services are referred to as “Tobacco Control”. Having a comprehensive Tobacco Control Strategy is one of the best things we can do for the public’s health.


This year, we are refreshing the Oxfordshire Tobacco Control Strategy (OTCS) for 2026-2030. The strategy aims to outline the priorities and targets that the Tobacco Control Alliance partners should come together to achieve and focus our actions where they are most needed.


Have your say:


In this survey you can tell us about your priorities for the Oxfordshire Tobacco Control Strategy and what actions you think need to happen to make Oxfordshire smokefree, support people who smoke to quit and prevent others from taking up smoking or vaping.

 

What you tell us will help to inform the strategy for the next five years and will underpin our key priorities during that time.


This survey should take between 10 - 15 minutes to complete, depending on the detail that you wish to add.

Please submit your response by the closing date of 1 June 2025.

Dear Customer, We're writing on behalf of Thames Water, your water wholesaler, to remind you that the hosepipe ban introduced on Tuesday 22 July is still in effect in your area. Thanks to your efforts, businesses and households across the region have already helped save millions of litres of water each day. However, despite recent rainfall, reservoir and groundwater levels remain well below average. While rainfall has allowed Thames Water to start replenishing reservoirs, it will take months of steady rain for rivers, groundwater and reservoirs to fully recover. That's why the temporary use ban remains essential, and why it's important that we continue the water saving efforts as we move into autumn. FIND OUT MORE HERE Please continue to be water efficient this autumn Your business is covered by the hosepipe ban, and even though the impact is limited, your continued support helps protect the water supply for everyone in your community and reduces the risk of further disruption.  Reduce water use where possible - for example, scheduling vehicle washing outside peak periods (early morning/late evening) Checking for leaks on-site - even a small constant dribble can waste around 400 litres per day Stopping urinals flushing overnight - turning off the flow can save thousands of litres Raise awareness of employees - small steps by everyone can add up to greater savings For more information or to report urgent issues, please call Thames Water's 24-hour helpline on 0800 316 9800. Thanks for your continued cooperation. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us - we're here to help.
