About

The Bicester South and Ambrosden ward encompasses the southern neighbourhoods of Bicester town and extends into the surrounding rural parish of Ambrosden. The area is characterised by a mix of recent residential development and established village communities. The landscape transitions from urban housing estates to open farmland and the historic floodplain of the River Ray, which shapes the local geography.

A notable feature is the presence of the former RAF Bicester, a heritage airfield with preserved hangars, which lies within the ward's boundaries. Economic activity includes retail at the Bicester Gateway shopping park and logistics centred on the adjoining industrial areas. The area is connected by the main railway line to London and the A41 trunk road, supporting its growth as a commuter settlement.
