Vacancy for Parish Councillors

We would particularly welcome expressions of interest from people with experience in areas such as planning, conservation, agriculture, health and safety, or legal matters. However, enthusiasm for village life and a genuine commitment to serving the community are just as important.

Bagnall Parish Council: Local Government Reorganisation

12 August 2025

Introduction

Bagnall Parish Council has dedicated considerable effort over recent months to ensure all parishioners are thoroughly informed about the ongoing Local Government Reorganisation. The Council remains firmly opposed to these changes and has taken proactive steps to communicate this resistance within the community.

Acknowledgements

Special recognition is due to our Chairman, Andrew Batson, and Councillor Les Knowles. Both have consistently attended numerous Parish Assembly meetings, ensuring that the concerns and perspectives of Bagnall are communicated effectively. Their commitment has helped guarantee that our community remains updated with the latest developments regarding the proposed reorganisation.

Keeping Parishioners Informed

This has been achieved through Parish Council meetings, the distribution of information leaflets inviting parishioners to a follow-up public meeting. This meeting, held on 28 October 2025, was well attended by members of the community, reflecting the high level of local interest and engagement in the issue.

Next Steps

This is the final opportunity for you to have your say and make your voice heard regarding the Local Government Reorganisation.
