Carbrooke Parish Council

The Parish Council consists of nine councillors, who are elected for a period of four years, the last election being in May 2023 (this was an uncontested election). When vacancies arise, the Council is given authority to fill these by co-option.

 

One of our members is elected each year to be the Chairperson. We also elect a Vice Chair.

 

We have an officer, the Parish Clerk. The role of the Clerk is advisory and supportive of the Council and its functions.

 

The Parish Council looks after the interests of the parish and its inhabitants. It has many functions, but broadly speaking is responsible for the provision and maintenance of the play area at Blenheim Grange; the Community Hub; the provision of dog and litter bins at Blenheim Grange; the maintenance of open spaces at Blenheim Grange; the maintenance of the Village Hall car park; the repair and upkeep of bus shelters.

Becoming a councillor is a rewarding and valued form of public service. Councillors contribute to the work of the Parish Council by :-

Here’s some of the things we have done over the last few months.

 

• Installed new safety surfacing in the play area at Blenheim Grange

• Installed new EV charging points at the Community Hub and the Village Hall

• Planted a community orchard at Blenheim Grange

• Laid down a new footpath into the Village Hall car park to improve accessibility

• Installed new fencing at the front of the Village Hall

• Launched a new parish magazine

• Installed new Memorial benches on the Millennium Green and at the Community Hub

• Paid for restoration work to the War Memorial outside the church

• And installed a new defibrillator outside the Community Hub (this is in addition to the defibrillators we installed near the church and at the Aerolite Garage)

​

​We usually meet on the second Tuesday of the month. All our members are volunteers and if you able able to give up a small amount of time this is a rewarding opportunity to make a difference.
