About

The Bicester South and Ambrosden ward encompasses the southern neighbourhoods of Bicester town and extends into the surrounding rural parish of Ambrosden.

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.
