Have you considered seeking co-option as a Local Chieveley Ward Parish Councillor
Serving as a Councillor on behalf of your Parish can be both rewarding and give a sense of achievement. If you feel you have some spare time and wish to serve your community the councillor role may be a good opportunity to achieve that. In particular the Parish Council seeks expertise in social media. Some eligibility criteria may apply.
FAQ…of the month…. Question – How do I know a planning application will be considered by the Parish Council.
Answer – Planning applications that will be considered at forthcoming Parish Council Meetings will be included on a planning schedule and displayed in the Parish Council notice board 3 clear working days before the meeting along with the Agenda. At the meeting the Parish Council as one of the consultees in the planning process, will provide either a no objection or an objection decision and provide local information needed to be considered by the Planning Officer. The feedback is returned to West Berkshire Council, the local planning authority.
