New Councillors
South Hinksey Parish Council plays an important role in the community but ultimately can only be as effective as the individuals involved. We rely on residents with an interest in local affairs, a willingness to be a voice for the community, and the desire to affect change for the better to stand as Councilllors.
The role of Parish Councillor includes:
- Preparing for and participating in monthly Parish Council Meetings (generally held in the Village Hall on the first Monday evening of each month)
- Setting and managing the annual budget, which covers, amongst other things, maintenance of the verges and woodland; managing the burial ground; employing the Clerk; as well as various one-off special projects
- Contributing to planning consultations for building works within the Parish
- Campaigning on issues of importance to Parishioners such as: traffic and speed; road and pavement maintenance; flooding; access over the railway; and
- Listening out for and acting as a voice for concerns of parishioners.
