Edition: March 2026
This May, we are launching a series of consultations to gather feedback on parishes across the District.
We want to hear from you about whether the current Parish Council structures and boundaries feel right for you and your community. Your views will help us ensure that every area is appropriately represented.
We will be inviting residents, parish councils and other interested groups to share their thoughts as part of a Community Governance Review.
Initial feedback will inform our draft recommendations, and a further round of consultation on those drafts will help shape the final proposals.
More information
We will also share more details about the consultations once they go live.
