On May 5th there will be elections for Parish Councillors in the Quickwood ward (1 councillor) and Chorleywood South ward (7 councillors). The Parish Council forms an important layer of local government whose responsibilities include: 

  • Acting as trustees for the Common, including maintaining the space and running events on it, including Village Day.
  • Providing a strong local voice over planning matters with the right to speak at District Planning Committee meetings on applications affecting the Parish.
  • Developing and maintaining the Neighbourhood Development Plan for the Parish and making representations as a Statutory Consultee on the emerging District Local Plan.
  • Providing funding for two local Police Community Support Officers
  • Owning and maintaining the local Lawn Cemetery and the village halls.
