Welcome to Davenham Parish Council
Welcome to the new website for Davenham Parish Council. It is exciting times for the Parish with the split from Kingsmead now complete and a new Parish Council wholly focussed on the Davenham and Whatcroft area.
As we enter the spring of 2012 the village also seems to be undergoing a series of improvements. We have new shops opening, refurbishments in both pubs, phase 2 of the play area in Laburnun Road playing field underway and a growing number of local activities to make us an interesting and welcoming local community. Please review the Village Events tab to the right of this page to see what's coming up in the next few months.
Please take a look through the site which will be regularly updated with latest news, the minutes for the Parish Council meetings and an outline of the goals and responsibilities of the Parish Council.

Our Role & Responsibilities
The Council's key role is to represent the interests of local residents and to lobby authorities such as the Cheshire West and Chester Council. As a democratically elected body, the Council's voice is always listened to.
In this Parish we are responsible for developing and maintaining the various playing fields we own and making sure that planning applications are consistent with the character of the area. We monitor the state of public footpaths and the general natural environment ensuring that litter is properly dealt with, and are often the first port of call for community groups and initiatives asking for support in financial or advisory matters.
We also employ (jointly with our neighbour, Moulton Parish Council) a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO)
