Parish Council

Parish Council meetings are open public meetings and are held on the First Wednesday of every month. The meetings take place in the Forbes lounge at the Parish Hall and usually commence at 7.30 pm.   The accessibility of the  Parish Hall is given on their page here.

Every one is welcome to observe the the meetings and to contribute to the discussions.

If there is an issue in the Parish that you are concerned about, or an idea you would like to share with us then please let us know. Either attend one of the meetings, phone or email a Councillor or the Clerk.

The Parish Council is the voice of the parish to local and ultimately central government, if we don't know what you want then we can not speak for you.

The Agenda for any forthcoming meeting is put on the official noticeboards around the village before each Meeting.  Click here for latest agenda.

Hemyock Emergency Plan
Hemyock has an emergency plan which is designed to cover situations where the 'blue light' services cannot attend. 

A copy of the main Plan is here
There are a number of Annexes to the main plan which are kept seperate for ease of updating. 
Annex A Risk Assessment
Annex B Emergency Control Desk
Annex C Accommodation and Feeding Centre
Annex D Contractors Equipment
Annex E Emergency Services Contact Details

Let us hope we never have to use the Emergency Plan, but a great deal of necessary preliminary work has been done, which should help if an emergency ever does arise. 


Just for interest, here is a link to the 1997 Parish Appaisal.  Many of the graphics have been lost, but it still makes very interesting reading.  A Parish appraisal is underway at the moment (April 2009), the results will be published soon.

The Hemyock Litter Pickers are looking for new volunteers to help keep a stretch of Hemyock road tidy; the more we have, the shorter the area!  Find out who your Chief Womble is and volunteer.

The Police have issued a report on recent crimes in the area, and request we keep sheds locked as they mostly concerned theft of power tools.

The Parish Council are promoting a scheme called Community Speed Watch, where trained local volunteers help police officers and PCSOs man speed guns to drive down local speeds.
