Operates at a level closest to people homes. We can help on a number of local issues, providing for example:

- Community centres
- Play areas and play equipment
- Grants to help local organisations
- Consultation on neighbourhood planning
The Parish Council is made up of 7 councillors and is elected every four years.
Parish councils are the oldest form of civil government in England. They are the successors of the earlier Church Parish Councils (which now exist as Parochial Church Councils).
Council meetings are held every month at Badger Farm Community Centre Residents are invited to attend and can ask questions or raise concerns at the beginning of the meeting.
Our City Council and County Council representatives often attend the Council meeting. There is an Annual Parish Assembly each year which residents are encouraged to attend.
Please contact the Clerk if you wish to receive agendas and papers for any of our meetings.
