Resources for parish clerks
Parish authorities are the most ‘grassroots’ level of local government. We endeavour to make our services and information readily accessible to them.
Our departments are encouraged to maintain good working relationships with parish clerks and engage with them early around issues and initiatives that may be of interest to the parish.
This page has been developed to provide clerks with a single place to access Cherwell District Council and its services. If you have suggestions for improvements or additions to this page, please contact us via parishes@cherwell-dc.gov.uk.
Parish Liaison meetings

The agenda is set according to current issues and suggestions from parishes. At the June meeting "drop-in surgeries" are held by officers and partner organisations covering a broad range of topics suggested by parishes.
