Committees

The Council has established a number of Committees; these are smaller groups of Councillors and volunteers that take on responsibilities delegated by the Parish Council. In some cases the Committees have delegated authority from the Parish Council to make decisions, set policy and agree strategy, in other cases the Committees have to refer matters back to the Parish Council for approval.

Chalgrave Community Emergency Plan

The Plan sets in place a framework of community response to any future emergency, identifying specific risks – including a pandemic – and challenges for our community and assigning specific responsibilities to individuals, should the need arise.
