West Berkshire Council Parish Conference

On Tuesday 17 October I went along the the West Berkshire Council offices to the annual district/parish conference. Representatives from many of the parish councils in West Berkshire were there (there are over 50 parishes in West Berks). Newbury is the largest parish council in the district, and we therefore have close working relationships with many departments, and share five councillors.

The conference included a presentation about the Volunteer Centre West Berkshire, disussion about community safety (many comments on lack of police presence around the district), the latest on planning gain (s.106 agreements), and Parish Plan progess.
