Update 3. July 2018

Owing to the August break, the next meeting will be held in the Parish Rooms, Hill Top Road, CW8 3RA, at 7:30pm on Monday 3. September 2018.

The most recently published Agenda and Minutes will be made available for download from our Transparency Page. Residents of Acton Bridge are always welcome to attend Parish Council meetings, to raise concerns or simply to observe our proceedings. Matters of urgency can be brought to the attention of the Clerk or any Councillor, or by e-mail to the address at the bottom of this page (shown as an image to reduce spam). Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) Surgeries are now advertised on our Homewatch Page.

We've received a letter from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, David Keane, to celebrate Volunteers' Week, launching "a volunteer recruitment drive to give local people the chance to make a real contribution to keeping their communities safe". You can download the letter (as a PDF) by clicking here.

Parish Councils are the lowest tier of Local Government in England, and are therefore generally the closest to the people they represent. To quote from Judge John Prophet :
"The Parish Council is one of the great survivors in our governmental institutions. It was the only council not abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 and has now been in continuous existence for over one hundred years. Long may it prosper as an admirable example of the benefits to our governmental system of local decision-making by elected representatives of the people". ["The Parish Councillor's Guide" (Shaw & Sons, ISBN 0 7219 0515 3)]

Acton Bridge Parish Council consists of eight Councillors and a Clerk. We usually meet at 7:30pm on the first Monday of each month in the Parish Rooms, to discuss planning applications, local concerns and items of interest to the community. You can see a Calendar of Forthcoming Meetings here.

In compliance with Transparency requirements, Parish Council Meeting and AGM Minutes, details of your Parish and Borough Councillors, your Weaver Vale Constituency MP, and links to Statutory Documents and Compliance Information can now be found via our Transparency Page. A statement regarding the Parish Council's compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will also be published there shortly.
Earlier Acton Bridge Parish Council Minutes dating back to 1972 have been archived at the Cheshire Record Office, Chester.
