Parish Council Background Information

Parish Councils are a part of local government and exist to serve the local community.  Thelbridge Parish Council occupies 4,006 acres within the Mid Devon District Council’s Sandford and Creedy Ward and, at the 2011 population census, had 337 residents. As at 2022, there are 278 people on the electoral register in the parish council area.

There are seven Councillors who may claim an allowance and any out of pocket expenses; the Thelbridge Councillors do not claim any allowances.  Elections are held every four years and if there are not enough candidates, councillors may be co-opted.  The Parish Clerk is the only employee and exists to support the Councillors.

The Chairman and Vice Chairman are elected annually by the Parish Councillors at the annual meeting of the Parish Council.  All Parish Council meetings are held in the Thelbridge Parish Hall, which is managed by a charity.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there was no annual meeting during 2020 and the existing nominations for Chairman and Vice Chairman continued without re-election.
