Culworth Community Circuit Training - Sessions will begin again on Monday 16 June at 6.30pm. As last summer's Circuit Training sessions were so successful, they are coming back.

If you would like to be added to the WhatsApp group please message Julie Waller on 07778673677.
Issues with Highways or Rights of Way - Please use the following Street Doctor/Fix My Street link to report any issues with highways or footpaths: https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/roads-and-paths-maintenance/report-potholes-or-highway-problem. The website has multiple options depending on the type of issue you wish to raise. There are details of the more urgent issues that can be reported using a phoneline, but there is a specific list for this category. In general, the online reporting is dealt with promptly, depending on the severity of the issue.
St Mary's Church - Culworth is now in an interregnum (waiting for a new priest!). Please contact the churchwardens Jenny Howse or Martin Rowling for information about services.
Children's Play Area - Please note: Dogs are not allowed within the fenced off children's play equipment area whether on or off the lead. This should not be a surprise to anyone as it is a general rule for any fenced play equipment area.
Please be mindful of the need for parents or guardians to accompany their children when they are using the play equipment on the cricket field, and also that the Banbury Lane neighbours "over the fence" need to be able to enjoy their gardens without excessive noise disturbing the peace.
Ability Bus Service - From 7th May 2024, the Ability Bus Service has been providing a weekly bus service on Tuesday or Thursday, running into Banbury town centre, the supermarkets, or Gateway Retail park. The route includes Culworth, and the service can be used with a concessionary bus pass, or a fare will be charged for non-pass holders. Please ring 01327 604123 to book or visit www.abilitycic.org.uk for more information.
Welcome to Culworth Parish Council's website. Our aim is to give you easy access to information relating to both the Parish Council and the village itself.
The Council is currently made up of seven elected or co-opted members from across our community. The Councillors bring a wide range of outside experience to their work and are ably supported by the Parish Clerk.
We represent a lively community fortunate enough to live in a beautiful part of Northamptonshire. Culworth is a thriving village with a primary school, popular pub, a butcher, and coffee shop. The village has come together memorably in the last few years to celebrate both local events and national milestones, and can doubtless support the development of other clubs and activities so that there is plenty to do and enjoy for everyone. The recent addition of the Children's Playground and Fitness Equipment on the Hill Field shows what can be achieved with enthusiasm and support from the Parish Council.
The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin serves the community as part of a group of parishes which also includes Chipping Warden, Edgcote, and Moreton Pinkney.
We hope you will enjoy exploring our website and find what you are looking for. If you don’t please tell us – the site is here to help you.
Councillor Andrew Wilby
