Community Governance Review - stage 2 - Chalgrave

Responses from consultation

Parish council: no proposal received

1 response

Comments: none

Feedback received through the public consultation indicated a preference to retain the current level of representation and to make no other changes. This view has been considered alongside the working group’s rationale to ensure that any final draft recommendation reflects the aims of the terms of reference as well as the views of the community.

Draft recommendations

  1. that the parish name of Chalgrave should remain unchanged
  2. that the number of parish councillors on Chalgrave Parish Council remain unchanged at 7

Reason for recommendations

The current arrangements reflect effective and convenient local government in addition to the current number of councillors being representative of the area, and there were no representations received that encouraged changes to be made.
