Kirklington with Sutton Howgrave Parish Council does not currently meet the requirements of parish governance arrangements as required under Local Government Act 1972 (LGA1972), in that each civil parish with the group does not have at least one representative as required, and they cannot represent more than one parish. Each parish within a group of parishes forming a parish council must return at least one councillor.
This community governance review seeks to rectify the identified anomaly of having a single councillor representing multiple civil parishes within the group, and there are a range of options which could resolve this. These are described in more detail in the survey questionnaire.
You are invited to have your say as part of this consultation.
The closing date for the survey is 22 December 2025.
