Chelmondiston Parish Council

 

Parish, Town and Community Councils are the most direct form of democracy in England and Wales, being the first tier of local government. .

This tier of local government is set to have more responsibilities placed upon it due to changes within the law relating to the Localism Act of 2011, the Audit and Accountability Act of 2014 and a number of other legislation currently being laid before parliament. This will result in a busier Council - from a resident's perspective a more local place to access information and raise concerns.

The Council is an elected body with eleven seats. We currently have 8 members whose primary function is to ensure that the Parish is efficiently and economically run using a proportion of the annual Council Tax income.

The Parish Council has a broad range of responsibilities some of which can be summarised below:

  • Maintaining footpaths
  • Providing outdoor furniture - such as the benches around the parish
  • Responsibility of the Recycling Centre
  • Providing and maintaining litter and dog bins
  • Statutory consultations on planning issues, working to influence Planning Authority decisions, based on Councillors local knowledge
  • Ensuring that the adopted Chelpin Neighbourhood Development Plan reflects the shared vision for its neighbourhood 
  • Chelmondiston is a small village and civil parish located on the Shotley Peninsula. It is to the South-East of the county of Suffolk.
