The area is mainly rural downland and forest, the main activities being farming and associated trades. The district was created on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by the merger of the municipal borough of Chipping Norton, Witney urban district, and Chipping Norton and Witney Rural Districts. West Oxfordshire lies within the River Thames catchment area, with the Thames itself and its tributaries including the River Evenlode and River Windrush running through the area.[1] Parts of the district suffered severe flooding during the 2007 floods in the UK.[2] Governance{{main|West Oxfordshire District Council elections}}Elections to West Oxfordshire District Council are held in three out of every four years, with one third of the seats on the council being elected at each election.
