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 2019. 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.

Important Updates October 2023

Notification of Haywoods Way Planning Appeal

A date has been set for the above planning appeal to be heard at:

10.00am on the 7th of November 2023

at Wychavon District Council offices in Pershore.

This is an important appeal hearing for the village because the original application, that was refused, proposed to extend the current number of plots to fill the whole field. This would more than double the number of caravans on the site in Haywards Way. It is important that as many residents attend the hearing as possible. This can have an influence on the planning inspector to show the concerns and feelings of the village residents regarding this planning appeal.

Should anyone need assistance regarding transport to attend please contact the Clerk to the Parish Council at clerk@cleevepriorparishcouncil.co.uk by the 24th October 2023.

See below for the full notice.

The Future of the Kings Arms

On the evening of 11th October 35 members of the community attended the meeting to discuss the potential community purchase of the pub. A vote was held to ascertain how many of these members supported a project to preserve the Kings Arms as a pub/restaurant in Cleeve Prior. The gathering was unanimous in its wish to retain the pub.

It was agreed that a project team be formed to address the issue. Seven volunteers stepped forward to form a working group with support from the community.

Please email clerk@cleevepriorparishcouncil.co.uk if you wish to be involved.
