The Parish Council

_MG_0055HeskethB

The Parish Council comprises eleven Councillors drawn from the Parish or a location within three miles of the Parish. The Present Members were elected in May 2021 and serve for four years. Unlike the District and County Councils, the Parish Council is not political with most Members declaring an “Independent” status.

The Council meets on the second Monday of the Month excepting August. Meetings are held in at Hesketh Bank Community Centre on Station Road and commence at 7:00pm with a 15 minute Public Forum. Proceedings are normally concluded by 8:30pm at the latest.

The Public Forum gives parishioners the opportunity to address the Council regarding matters that concern or interest them, as a result, the Council might take on board suggestions put forward or act on matters causing concern. It should be remembered however, that the Parish Council will only take action on matters that fall within its gamut of responsibilities; it is not a clearing house for matters that should be dealt with by the District or County Councils.

If you are unsure as to whose responsibility a matter is, contact the Clerk who will endeavour to help.
