Ordinary Parish Council meetings are generally held on the third Thursday in the month starting at 7.00pm. They are held at the Pavilion, Hockley Heath Recreation Ground and members of the public and press are welcome to attend. Agendas and minutes are posted online (Parish Council website) to enable all members of the community to keep up to date with Parish Council activities, when unable to attend meetings, and these documents are also posted on the noticeboard in the village (outside the dental practice). The agenda will state the date and time of the meetings.
The Parish Council has three democratically elected Councillors and one co-opted Councillor (the maximum number of seats available on the Hockley Heath Parish Council, determined by the Local Authority, is five). The elected and co-opted Councillors term of office will end in May 2027, at which time new elections will take place. Elected Parish Councillors are able to claim a financial allowance to cover the work they undertake, one current elected Parish Councillor on Hockley Heath Parish Council has chosen to take an allowance and all Councillors give their time freely. The four Councillors are:
Cllr Batchelor
Cllr Langham-Thomas
Cllr McDougall – Chair
Cllr Quinton – Vice Chair
Councillors can be contacted via the Clerk, however if your query is of a confidential nature and you need to speak directly with a Councillor, you can request a Councillor’s email address from the Clerk.
