LECKHAMPSTEAD PARISH COUNCIL

(PLEASE NOTE: This is the parish council page for Leckhampstead near Milton Keynes in the local government district of Buckinghamshire.  It does NOT provide information on the council for Leckhampstead near Newbury in West Berkshire)

Leckhampstead Parish Council meets every two months to discuss and decide on matters relating directly to the village. It is made up of five elected councillors, supported by the clerk to the parish council.

As the first tier or ‘grass roots’ local  authority, it has a range of responsibilities on issues affecting the local community, including:

 

  • Annual taxation to fund activities (the parish precept);
  • Burial grounds;
  • Crime prevention;
  • Managing open spaces;
  • Traffic calming;
  • Planning – the council has to be consulted by Buckinghamshire Council (the planning authority) on all applications in the parish and its views have to be taken into account. It does not make the final decision;
  • Makes representation to the relevant responsible authority on other issues which affect the village.
