About the Parish Council

Members of Cleeve Prior Parish Council are unpaid parishioners elected by parishioners or in case of vacancies, co-opted by the Council. Elections are every four years; the last election was held in the spring of 2023. There are seven seats on Cleeve Prior Parish Council and three councillors are required to be quorate for a meeting.

The Council is financed in the main by the precept. The precept is the Council's share of the council tax collected by Wychavon District Council. Each year, generally around November, Cleeve Prior Parish Council sets its budget and precept request for the following financial year. Your Council encourages parishioners to participate in the budget process by outlining parish needs and aspirations.
