Thornton-le-Beans with Crosby and Cotcliffe Parish Council does not currently meet the requirements of parish governance arrangements as required under Local Government Act. Each civil parish with the group does not have at least one representative as required.
Also, the parish council has become over time known as ‘Thornton-le-Beans with Crosby and Cotcliffe parish council’, and the 1973 Order which established the parish council states the name to be simply ‘Thornton-le-Beans-Parish Council’.
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.
