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 Lisa Scott. It has been granted powers by Parliament including the important authority to raise money through taxation, called the precept. We are not political and are the closest official body to the community, working to pull all groups and organisations together 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 that the Council has undertaken for a number of years is to provide a car park near the Pavilion, possibly in the Millennium Field. Councillors are also working with the help of a traffic consultant to introduce traffic calming measures in the two villages.
