The Maxey Parish council is a proactive, friendly, and hard-working group of individuals. Your local parish council is a local authority that makes decisions on behalf of the people in the parish

Maxey Parish council is a civil local authority and are the lowest tier of local government. We are an elected body and carry out beneficial public activities within our local community. Our Parish council is made up of unpaid councillors

The central function of the Council is to make local decisions and policy relevant to the public interest of the parish, the majority performed at the meetings of the Council. We meet on the last Tuesday of each month in Maxey Village Hall. These meetings are open to the public

Maxey Parish Council consists of the chairman, vice chairman, 5 councillors and 1 Parish Clerk. The Clerk is a part time paid member of the team

The minutes of the meeting are taken by the clerk and are ratified at the next meeting of the council. Our agendas and minutes will be displayed around the village on our notice boards and also on the internet

Civil parish councils were formed in England under the reforming Local Government Act 1894 to take over local oversight of civic duties in rural towns and villages. The act created two new types of local authority, parish councils and district councils, to rationalise the large number of bodies which existed for a variety of activities such as public health, secular burials, water supply and drainage. It also finally removed secular duties from the local vestry committees and gave them to the new parish councils.
