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, two casual vacancies having been filled by Co-option at the June 2011 meeting.
We usually meet at 7:30pm on the first Monday of each month in the Parish Room, to discuss planning applications, local concerns and items of interest to the community. Most meetings are attended by one or more of our three Local Government Representatives.
Members of the public are welcome to attend Parish Council meetings, but are not generally permitted to speak except during a special agenda item set aside for the purpose before the main business begins. Visitors' active participation is, however, encouraged during the Annual General Meeting, when the Councillors will do their best to answer questions and discuss matters of concern to local residents.
Following the local government reorganisation in April 2009, Vale Royal Borough Council was abolished and we became part of
Cheshire West and Chester Council. Since the May 2011 elections we are in a new "Weaver and Cuddington" Ward, which consists of four Parishes - Acton Bridge, Cuddington (which includes the community of Sandiway), Dutton, and Weaverham. You can read more on our
Boundary page.
