Witney East is an electoral ward covering the eastern side of the market town of Witney in the district of West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. The ward sits close to the riverside of the River Windrush and the town’s edge, with the rolling hills of the Cotswolds AONB not far away, giving a pleasant mix of suburban streets and easy access to countryside walks.
Historically the area shares in Witney’s famous blanket‑making past, though today it is largely residential with local shops, schools and community groups; many residents commute to Oxford and beyond, including London, while small businesses and light industry support the local economy. The ward tends to have an active community feel, with parish and neighbourhood activities centred around the town’s market and civic facilities.
