Councillors
& Clerk

After a community Governance review in 2022, the Parish Council now comprises of 10 members who are elected every four years to represent Somerford, though we currently have two vacancies. 

In order to manage Council business and expand resources in a way that delivers best value for money, the Council has adopted a committee structure. Whilst the full Council still makes the most important decisions, such as setting the precept, committees have delegated authority to make decisions in certain areas themselves.

All meetings of the Parish Council and its committees are open to the Public and Press, except when items of a confidential nature are being discussed

We discuss a range of issues affecting the parish including, planning, highways issues and Cheshire East affairs.
All people resident in our area are welcome to attend any of the meetings, as members of the public.
If you have any specific issues that you would like to raise at a Parish Council Meeting, please contact the Parish Clerk, or one of your Councillors.
