Have Your Say – Help Shape Iwade Parish Council’s Priorities

Dear Resident,

Iwade Parish Council is inviting all residents to share their views on the issues that matter most to our community.

Through our “Parish Council Priorities” survey, you can help determine what the Council should focus on. From a list of items, you’ll be asked to select and rank the five most important to you. If something you value isn’t listed, you can add your own suggestion. The survey takes less than 3 minutes to complete.

We are also running a “Have Your Say” questionnaire, which asks nine short questions and can be completed in around 5 minutes.

Your feedback is vital. By taking part, you’ll ensure local voices are heard and directly influence the Council’s decisions for a safer, stronger community.

The survey is now open and will close on January 31st

The Parish Council (PC) is the first tier of local government and the closest to the community, with SBC and KCC above it in the hierarchy. As it is the authority closest to the people, the Parish Council is invariably the first-place people will go with concerns or ideas. For this reason, they are a vital part of the community.

A free training session on the role of a parish council is taking place online on 14 November, to sign up use the following link: People in Action

The Parish Council meet on the second Wednesday of each month (except for August). Did you know that you do not have to be a councillor to attend this monthly council meeting? All residents are welcome to attend and can raise any matters they think the council should deal with. There is a standing agenda item for this purpose called “residents public time” should you wish to use it. You are also welcome to just come along and observe the proceedings.

The Parish Council’s work falls into three main categories: representing the local community, delivering services to meet local needs, striving to improve quality of life in the parish.

At the monthly meeting, the councillors will make decisions on what services can be delivered, what activities to support, where money should be spent and what policies should be implemented. The extent of what the Parish Council can act on is governed by their statutory powers and duties and any budget constraints. The decisions made are recorded in the meeting minutes and published for the public to view.
