MEETING DATES BELOW. ALL RESIDENTS WELCOME.

Charlwood Parish Council, the first tier of local government, plays an important role in representing the interests of the community it serves and improving the quality of life and the local environment. It acts as an advisory agency for planning matters, road safety and other functions of local government. The Parish Council is a corporate body, consisting of eight elected Councillors and one co-opted Councillor, under the chairmanship of Trevor Stacey, who was elected at the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council on 19 May 2025. The Council has been granted powers by Parliament and raises money through taxation, known as the precept. The Council is not political. Parish councils are the closest arm of government to the communities they serve.  Charlwood Parish Council works to pull together all local groups and organisations in the communities of Charlwood, Hookwood and Norwood Hill. The Councillors undertake their duties and responsibilities on a voluntary basis. They serve a four-year term before coming up for re-election. The Parish Council employs a Clerk/Responsible Finance Officer and an Assistant Clerk. Both posts are part-time and emails may not be answered immediately. 

The biggest project the Council has undertaken for a number of years is to provide a car park near the Pavilion, in the Millennium Field. Several other projects are in the pipeline. Plans are under way to introduce a new and more easily accessible website this year.
