Parish Council

Whaddon Parish Council (WPC) represents the village of Whaddon in Buckinghamshire.  The Parish Council meets bi-monthly in the School Room of the Selbie Memorial Chapel in Stock Lane. Dates of meetings are posted on the village notice board. Parish Notice Boards are situated on the former Bus Shelter in Stock Lane.

Parishioners are welcome to attend the public sessions of the meetings and are encouraged to do so. Each meeting commences with a public forum at which you can have your say. Questions during the meetings should be addressed to the Chairman. Further information can be obtained from Councillors or the Clerk to the Parish.

The Council looks after the Village Recreation Ground, Constable's Plot, the Village Allotments, the street lights, the street furniture and the grass cutting and some hedge trimming within the village boundaries.
