Iver
Parish Council is a Quality Parish Council  |
The
parish includes the three areas of Iver Village, Iver Heath and Richings
Park, which have a combined population of over 10,000, making it one of
the larger parishes in the southern part of Buckinghamshire. It has a
parish council of 14 councillors elected from the three areas. Details
of the functions we undertake together with information about those of
South Bucks District Council and Bucks County Council are included on
this web site.
The parish council office is within the
police station building in Iver High Street.
The Council staff are:
Parish
Clerk (Glenda Collins),
Maintenance
Person (Raymond Peters)
Maintenance
Assistant (Christopher Sprules)
The
parish council also pays for an Outreach Youth Worker ( Sally Tugwell
) in partnership with Iver Educational Trust, Click
here for a report on Sally's work and
pays half towards a PCSO (Ian Bates) in partnership with Thames Valley
Police.
The
Parish Council is the body that represents local opinion. We are consulted
on all planning proposals and have regular requests for opinions on a
variety of matters such as footpaths, licensing and street collections,
road safety, library services, ancient monuments and trees.
In
addition we are responsible for some areas of common land including Iver
Heath Fields, Hardings Row Nature Reserve, St Leonard's Mound in Richings
Park, a footpath in Pinewood Green, 2 recreation grounds, a sports pavilion
at Iver Heath, 2 children's playgrounds, local street lighting, allotments,
bus shelters, parish notice boards, seats and litter/dog bins.
We
also give grants to a number of local organisations and provide hanging
baskets in our shopping areas in the summer and lights at Christmas.
All
Parish Council and Committee meetings are open to the public and we are
required by law to hold an annual Parish meeting at which anything can
be discussed. There are 14 Parish Councillors who try to represent local
opinion but we welcome comments from anyone attending these meetings.
Iver
Parish Council obtained Quality Council Status in 2007. This is a new
Government initiative to recognise Town and Parish Councils who have proven
that they are competent and professionally managed. This is important
in raising the standing of Town and Parish Councils so that the voice
of local communities can be heard more strongly. Your Parish Council will
seek to promote the interests of Iver in every way we can and this award
can only help. Click here for more
details.
The
Parish Council has an Action Plan which was derived from a questionnaire
which was sent to all residents of the parish in July 2002. To view
progress on the plan click The Iver
Parish Action Plan. (1.96MB pdf file)
