Welcome to the Chartridge Parish Council website.
We are a small, hugely proactive parish council , working closely with the parish community and the regional councils to ensure that wherever possible the best interests of the local residents are upheld. Across the two wards of Chartridge & Bellingdon we have 8 member councillors, lead by our current Chairman, Peter Brown. Our key objective is to protect the interests of our parishioners and we maintain close working relationships with Chiltern District Council, Bucks County Council, Transport for Bucks, our local police and other key service providers, to try to achieve this objective.
Parish Council meetings are held every 4 – 6 weeks, members of the public are always welcome so if you would like to learn more about what goes on do please join us. Click here to see next meeting date.
What we do today
The Parish Council work varies tremendously depending on the issues in hand. The present emphasis on keeping costs down in order to meet budget cuts has presented us with new challenges as we compete with other Parish Councils across the Chilterns for a fair claim to higher authority budgets.
We work closely with our District Councillor – Nick Rose and our County Councillor – Patricia Birchley to understand the strategy of both Chiltern District Council and Bucks County Council. These working relationships are key to securing support for the community be it a new salt/grit bin for a specific area, new or repaired road surfaces, dog poo bins for popular footpaths . We also do our best to share information with the community via the five noticeboards within the parish and now, our new website.
As much as possible we are proactive and have worked with local services and organisations to :
- improve gateway access so disabled people can enjoy some of our lovely footpaths
- ensure police presence in and around the villages at least once in a day
- keep a watchful eye on traffic speeding
- we secure the presence of a police speed van from time to time
- maintain roadside verges and hedges.
